Maintenance

How to Clean the Touchscreen
When cleaning the touchscreen, make sure to turn off the machine. You can use any window cleaning
solution to get any debris off of the screen. It is preferable to use a non-lint cloth when cleaning.
Note
- If you clean the screen with the power on, you may get false triggering or no touchscreen
detection at all.

Laser Calibration
5.3.1
Accuracy
Your ProtoTRAK TMC is calibrated before it is shipped out to you using a highly accurate laser
interferometer system. It is calibrated over 25mm increments along the length of each ballscrew, and
saved onto a table within service code 123. We highly recommend creating your own backup onto a USB
flash drive using service code 142, in the event that you need to replace your computer in the future. If
needed, you can also contact us and we can email you the file from the time it was inspected.
