9.6 MAINTENANCE
Please read the safety instructions provided at the beginning of this
manual before handling the following devices.
9.6.1 Hydraulics
It is important to clean the bars (even briefly) before loading them on the feed system magazine.
Excessive dirt can form a deposit at the base of the bar feed system, which can in turn slow the
oil return.
9.6.2 Pneumatics
The air-filtering device is equipped with an automatic drainage valve, making it unnecessary to
empty it. The water recuperated comes from the pneumatic circuit of the building. It is advisable
to make certain that the air received by the bar feed system is as dry as possible (see Chapter 5 /
Pneumatics).
9.6.3 Batteries
In the event of a power failure, a backup battery saves the data contained in the PLC. It is
possible that with time this battery will slowly drain; in this case a message will be displayed on
the remote control. The battery must be replaced as soon as possible with a battery of the same
type. The same applies to the SERVO amplifier.
9.6.4 Mechanics
Rotating sleeves
In order to guarantee the correct operation of the bar feed system, the rotating sleeve must
function perfectly. Although the construction of the sleeve is very sturdy and reliable, it is
recommended to verify periodically that it rotates without friction. If a defect should be present,
please contact your local agent.
Chain
It is possible that after a certain amount of use, the drive needs to be tightened. To tighten the
drive, refer to Chapter 7 / Point 6.3.
9.6.5 Cleaning
As with any vehicle, machinery, or device, regular cleaning of your bar feed system can only
serve to improve its operation and prolong its useful life.
For cleaning on the outside, use a soft cloth and a regular detergent; for the inside, use a cloth or
a brush. However, make sure that the rollers and parts made of synthetic materials do not come
into contact with these products.
Use of compressed air for cleaning is not advisable, because particles could become lodged in
sensitive areas and impede the proper operation of the bar feed system.
At no time should solvents, such as acetone, or diluents be used for cleaning
the bar feed system. At no time should cleaning products come into contact
with electrical components.
