16.5 X,Y,Z axes procedures
To Do Tools Frequency Solution
Checking the
friction on the
X and Y axis
carriages Every 1500
working
hours
This is done while the machine is switched off.
Manually move the toolhead left/right and the
worktable move forwards/backwards to determine
if something is hindering their movement.
Cleaning the X and
Z axis rails from
dirt and lubricating
them ▪ lubricating oil
▪ PTFE grease
▪ dry cloth
▪ paper towel
Every 1500
working
hours
This is done while the machine is switched off.
Apply some grease to a dry cloth or paper towel
and spread it on the X and Z-axis rods. For easier
access to the Z-axis guides, the side covers can be
removed. Check the rods for dirt, remove it with
a dry cloth or mechanically. Manually move the
toolhead left/right to spread the grease.
Cleaning the Y axis
rails from dirt and
lubricating them ▪ lubricating oil
▪ PTFE grease
▪ dry cloth
▪ paper towel
Every 1500
working
hours
This is done while the machine is switched off.
Apply some grease to a dry cloth or paper towel
and spread it on Y-axis rails. Manually move the
worktable forwards/backwards to spread the grease.
Checking the
tension of the
timing belts of the
X and Y axis ▪ adjustable
▪ wrench 150
▪ Allen key
2,5 mm
Every 1500
working
hours
In the case of loose timing belts, tighten the
tension bar screws. For the X-axis belts, evenly
tighten the two screws located on the right-hand
Z-axis lift. In the case of the Y-axis belts, first,
loosen the 4 screws securing the tension bar at
the front of the machine. Then, using a tension
wrench or simply a M4 bolt with a nut, tighten the
Y-axis straps and tighten the tension bar screws.
Checking the
mounting screws in
the timingpulley for
the X and Y axis ▪ Allen key 2mm Tighten all mounting screws in the timing
pulley on the X and Y axes.
Lubrication the
Z axis ▪ Lubrication the
Z axis Every 1500
working
hours
Apply the grease directly to the Z-axis screws
just above the Z-axis lifts, and then use the LCD
interface to move the Z-axis up and down to
distribute the grease through the screws.
Maintenance and operation
▪ Lack of proper axis maintenance may have an impact on the printed model, the model quality might
drop or the axis may get stuck (axis blockage). Regular cleaning and proper lubrication of the axis can
bring benefits in the form of saved material or time spent preparing the device for printing.
▪ Failure to clean the machine may result in unwanted damage or malfunction of the drive components.
