Cleaning
General cleaning of the QuickStick HT transport system consists of cleaning the transport sys-
tem surfaces as described.
Required Tools and Equipment
•
Disposable gloves.
•
Microfiber cleaning cloth.
•
Deionized water.
•
Isopropyl alcohol (optional).
Procedure
1.
Stop all motion on the sections of the QSHT transport system to be cleaned.
2.
While wearing gloves, clean all exposed transport system surfaces and cables with a
clean microfiber cloth slightly dampened with deionized water or Isopropyl alcohol.
Wipe in the direction of the grain on all surfaces that have a grain.
3.
Make sure that all components are dry.
4.
Resume motion on the sections of the QSHT transport system that were stopped.
Wear Surface Maintenance
The vehicles that are used on the QSHT transport system may need to be rotated to make sure
that there is even wear on the wheels. This is especially true for vehicles that are used in a
transport system where all motion is in one direction, for bogies in a tandem vehicle configu-
ration, or for vehicles that have a cantilevered load.
NOTE:
Rotating vehicles is only done for vehicles where the magnet array is centered on the
vehicle. For vehicles where the magnet array is not centered, the design of the vehi-
cle determines if it is possible to rotate the vehicle.
1.
Stop all motion on the QSHT transport system.
2.
Remove the vehicles from the QSHT transport system.
3.
Rotate the vehicles 180°.
4.
Replace the vehicles on the QSHT transport system.
