It is recommended that both the lead/ball screws on the marking head are lubricated
with a high quality synthetic grease such as Mobilgrease 28 or the nearest
equivalent. Do not use normal grease, it will harden and impair the lead screws
from working efficiently.
The Auto-sense assembly should be checked for contamination of dirt/oil, and that
the emitter/collector faces are clean, when doing this, check that the stylus, guide
and slug is free to move.
6 Monthly
The stylus spring should be replaced every six months.
If using a machine with an electric programmable Z axis then the Z axis lead screw
assembly will require re-greasing. To do this remove the safety cap from the rear of
the column labelled ‘Grease Point’, manually move the Z axis until the grease point
is visible and use a grease gun (Mobilgrease 28 or equiv) to fill the nut cavity via the
grease nipple. Replace the safety cap.
If using a manual Z axis lubricate the column rods, the manual Z axis leadscrew and
the carriage running rods with a general light machine oil.
Every Month
Check that the solenoid and slug are clean, also check the solenoid liner for wear.
Every Day
The stylus, stylus guide and stylus spring should be checked every day, they must
be kept clean and free from contamination and lubricated with a light machine oil.
NB
. If the equipment is working in a particularly harsh environment the maintenance
should be more frequent
