Clean the ram with a lightly oiled cloth.
Clean the scale on the ram with a soft, lint-free cloth wetted with
isopropyl alcohol.
4.2 Adjusting the force measurement
Since the force-measuring system is usually used for measuring
characteristic quantities relevant to quality, it should be calibrated and, if
necessary, adjusted at reasonable intervals established by the owner. EN
ISO 9001 (Quality management systems - Requirements) makes a
calibration of the system mandatory at regular intervals.
Calibration is also offered as a service by the SCHMIDT Customer Service.
4.3 Lubricating the spindle
The lubrication of the spindle is stroke-dependent. Depending on the
configured operating profile, the point in time for the next lubrication is
calculated. When the given time has come, the control will request you to
lubricate.
For further information, refer to the "Instructions for Use - SCHMIDT Manual
workstation"
respectively

reservoir is displayed.
To fill the grease reservoir, the ram of the press moves to a special position.
This happens automatically after answering the message.
If you are prompted ...
