Maintenance work
Are the ball screw and table guide
(TC/TW) or guide shaft (GS/GD)
properly lubricated?
(The lubrication may have turned
brown. This is not a problem as long as
the travel surfaces shine.)
First, wipe off the old grease, clean, and
then supply new grease.
Is there foreign matter or dust adhered
to the ball screw or guide?
Replenish with new grease after cleaning
the ball screw.
[Ball screw inspection method]
With the power off, pull out the ball screw and pull the spiral cover narrow diameter side
toward the thick diameter side (arrow direction); then expose the screw shaft for visual
inspection.
If the ball screw will not move at low lead, connect to the PC software or teaching pendant to
move the ball screw.
