Maintenance and cleaning
The spectral measuring head is mostly maintenance-free. How-
ever, in case of soiling the protective glass, the tile insert, the
measuring roller and the traverse bar must be cleaned. If the
measuring results are faulty in any other way, have
BST
perform
maintenance on the spectral measuring head.
The spectral measuring head automatically performs a
white balance at regular intervals. During this process,
the operating noise of the spectral measuring head is
slightly increased. However, this does not affect the func-
tion of the spectral measuring head.
6.1
Cleaning
Severe soiling of the spectral measuring head, the tile insert or the
measuring roller can prevent correct color measurements (signi-
ficant difference between the measuring result of the spectral
measuring head and the measuring result of a spectrometer). This
is indicated by an error message from the system. In this case,
clean the spectral measuring head or the tile insert. Also regularly
clean the traverse bar to ensure unhindered movement of the
spectral measuring head.
We recommend checking the spectral measuring head,
the tile insert and the measuring roller for soiling once a
week and cleaning them, if necessary.
WARNING
Danger caused by trapping points between system components
and guide rollers!
Observe the following measures to avoid the danger. Otherwise,
there is a risk of severe injury or even death.
►
Work on the spectral measuring head, on the camera or on the
traverse bar may only be performed when the machine is at
zero speed.
CAUTION
Danger of crushing caused by motorized traverse bar!
There is a danger of crushing when body parts enter the space
between the camera unit/spectral measuring head and traverse
bar!
►
Prior to starting assembly, maintenance and cleaning work, isol-
ate the system and secure it against being switched on again.
►
Ensure that no body parts are within the hazard zone of the tra-
verse bar.
