Removing the Rear Covers
EMC 6/4, 6/4M, 6/4MT, EMC 10/4, EMC 10/4T:
The rear covers are attached to the peripheral frame with plastic tabs in the front of
the covers and with machine screws on the backside of the covers.
All covers are removed and reinstalled in the same manner, however, they must
follow a specific sequence since some of the covers overlap others.
Rear cover #4 covers the Controller Section which houses the EMI (Electro-Magnetic
Interference) box and its printed circuit boards. As with other covers, it is attached
with screws at the rear and tabs on the front. Cover #4 overlaps covers #3 and #5,
and is the first of the 5 covers to be removed and becomes the last cover installed.
After removing cover #4 you will remove cover #5, which covers the Z motor and
encoder area; then remove covers #3, #2, and then #1 in that order in the other
direction. (Refer to the figure below for an illustration of the covers and their
removal/installation sequence.
Use a small brush or can of compressed air to clean any dust or accumulated
lint from inside the caps themselves, as well as the electronic components.
