General Notes on Maintenance
NOTICE
Damage due to improper maintenance!
Improper maintenance can result in the failure of the U-651.
Loosen screws only according to the instructions in this manual.
Make sure that the piezo motors of the U-651 do not come into contact with lubricants.
7.2
Doing a Maintenance Run
Depending on the operating conditions and the period of use of the U-651, a maintenance run
may be required. The maintenance run is performed to redistribute the existing lubricant in the
bearing of the U-651. The stage must rotate by at least one full revolution during the
maintenance run.
To evenly distribute the existing lubricant in the stage bearing, perform a maintenance
run after 500 hours of operation or after 1 year at the latest.
If you move your U-651 over a small working range (<20°) in continuous industrial
operation, perform a maintenance run after every 5000 motion cycles.
