Intervals
Adapt the maintenance cycles in case of higher loads
Operation at the limits of the permissible environmental conditions
and operating states will shorten the intervals. Depending on the
mechanical dynamics due to mounted devices and movements, the
service life of the mover rollers may be shortened. Therefore, adapt
the maintenance cycles to the respective load on the system.
We have provided you with a list of maintenance work and intervals
for the associated components below. The intervals are based on
the total operating time of the system and not on the operating time
of individual components. The data apply to laboratory conditions
and a relative humidity of 50% at 25 °C:
