13. Maintenance

13.1  Periodic Inspection

With industrial-type applications that frequently move the system’s cabling, check the cable jacket for 

signs of wear. The Axia sensor is IP64 rated. Debris and dust should be kept from accumulating on or in the 

sensor. The surface of the sensor can be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol, if contaminated by its environment. 
The sensor itself should experience no wear, if used within the operating ranges and fastened to the proper 

torque specification. Refer to 

Section 15—Specifications

 and 

Section 3.3—Installing the Sensor to the Robot

.

13.2  Periodic Calibrating

Periodic calibration of the sensor and its electronics is required to maintain traceability to national standards. 

Follow the applicable ISO-9000-type standards for calibration. ATI Industrial Automation recommends 

annual accuracy checks. Refer to 

Section 3.6—Accuracy Check Procedure

.

14. Troubleshooting

This section includes answers to some issues that might arise when setting up and using the Ethernet Axia. The 
question or problem is listed followed by its probable answer or solution. They are categorized for easy reference.

The information in this section should answer many questions that might arise in the field. Customer service is 

available to users who have problems or questions addressed in the manuals.

Note

Please read the manual before calling customer service. Before calling, have the following information available:

1. 

Serial number (e.g., FT01234)

2.  Sensor model (e.g., Axia, etc.)

3.  Calibration (e.g., US-15-50, SI-65-6, etc.)

4.  Accurate and complete description of the question or problem

• 

For the status code; refer to 

Section 4.8—Status Code

.

5. 

Computer and software information. Operating system, PC type, drivers, application software, and other 

relevant information about your configuration.

If possible, be near the F/T system when calling.
