NOTICE
Damage due to improper maintenance!
The hexapod can become misaligned as a result of improper maintenance. The specifications
can change as a result (p. 57).
Only loosen screws according to the instructions in this manual.
Depending on the operational conditions and the period of use of the hexapod, the following
maintenance measures are required.
7.1
Performing a Maintenance Run
Frequent motion over a limited travel range can cause the lubricant to be distributed unevenly
on the drive screw.
Perform a maintenance run over the entire travel range at regular intervals (see user
manual of the controller). The more often motion is performed over a limited travel
range, the shorter the time has to be between the maintenance runs.
7.2
Packing the Hexapod for Transport
NOTICE
Impermissible mechanical load!
Impermissible mechanical load can damage the hexapod.
Only ship the hexapod in the original packaging.
Only hold the hexapod by the base plate.
