7.3.2 Replacing the cover strip for linear tables HT-S
The cover strip must be changed as soon as there are any signs of rippling and it can no longer be held in position by the
magnetic strips. In this case, a sufficient sealing is no longer guaranteed.
Undo the clamping screw of the cover strip clamp at both ends of the axis as shown in Fig. 7.17.
Undo the carriage end piece screws. Remove the end pieces from both ends of all carriages (see Fig. 7.15).
Remove the carriage cover by pushing it out of the carriage profile (see Fig. 7.11).
Undo the cover strip deflection mounting screws. Remove the cover strip deflection from both ends of all carriages (see
Now remove the cover strip by lifting it off the carriage profile.
Use a soft, damp, lint-free cloth to remove any dirt from the cover strip clamp, carriage end piece, cover strip deflection,
cover strip guide and carriage cover (e.g. with ethanol).
If necessary, replace the cover strip guides on the top of the carriage profile and the bottom of the cover strip deflection
Cut the new cover strip to the same length as the one that you have removed.
Lay the cover strip on the magnetic strip of the axis base profile and guide it over the carriage profile (see Fig. 7.14).
Center the cover strip.
Mount the cover strip deflection on both sides of the carriage as shown in Fig. 7.12.
Center the cover strip deflection.
Hand-tighten the cover strip deflection screws.
Mount the carriage cover by inserting it into the groove of the carriage profile and the cover strip deflection (see Fig.
Place the carriage end pieces on the cover strip deflection as shown in Fig. 7.15 and hand-tighten the mounting screws.
Push the ends of the cover strip under the cover strip clamp on both sides. Make sure that the cover strip is aligned
centrally with the axis profile and that it is in contact with the magnetic strips across the entire length. Hand-tighten
the clamping screws of the cover strip clamp (see Fig. 7.16 and Fig. 7.17).
Move the carriages to both end positions and check that the cover strip is seated correctly. If necessary, loosen the
cover strip clamp screws again, realign the cover strip and then retighten the screws.
The new cover strip has been mounted.
