8.1
Maintenance Run
Frequent motion along a limited travel range can case uneven distribution of the lubricant.
The maintenance run serves the purpose of distributing the existing lubricant.
■
Perform a maintenance run at regular intervals, at the latest after a period of six months.
The more often motion is performed over a limited travel range, the shorter the interval
has to be between the maintenance runs.
Performing a Maintenance Run
1. Make sure that collisions between the V-408, the load to be moved, and the surroundings
are not possible over the entire travel range of the V-408. If necessary, remove the load
from the V-408's motion platform for the maintenance run.
2. Perform a maintenance run over the entire travel range:
a) Command the V-408 to the end of a travel range and from there to the opposite end of
the travel range (see manual for the electronics).
b) If necessary: Command the V-408 to a position where the load can be mounted onto
the motion platform again and
mount the load back onto the V-408 (p. 21)
