Normally maintenance is not required. Keep rails free of any
debris and residue, wipe with dry cloth.
Z axis column lead screw
Inspect yearly
Apply a general purpose light grease directly to the lead screw
acme thread above the nut. This may be applied as required.
Because of the near zero duty cycle, most applications will not
require any lubricant for the life of the equipment.
Motors
Not Required
All programmable motors are brushless and require no mainte-
nance. The ball bearings are lubricated for life, fully sealed and
require no maintenance.
Compressed Air Filter
Inspect Weekly
The pneumatic filter may be replaced as required. This will
depend on each factory floor condition. The filter is inside of a
clear polycarbonate bowl allowing visual inspection from time
to time. It is suggested that the filter be cleaned as soon as grit
and grit and particulate matter accumulate. If any water
accumulates, disconnect the air supply to drain.
Cooling Fan / Air Filter
