6.0 Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Important: Always disconnect the unit from the electrical and pneumatic supplies before servicing or
performing maintenance.
Maintenance:
Linear Bearing Rails
All linear bearing rails should be cleaned once a month with a tack rag to remove debris, dust and dirt
from the rails. A Medium lubricant such as Way Oil should be applied to the X-Y and Z rails/linear
bearing rails once every three months. At the factory, we use Mobil Vactra™ #2 (ISO 68) Medium Way
Oil.
Bottom Heater
IMPORTANT: NEVER TOUCH THE HEATER LAMPS WITH BARE HANDS!
The bottom heater should be cleaned of dust and debris as needed. If large amounts of dust and debris
accumulate inside the bottom heater, remove the top cover and collimator grille, vacuum the interior,
and clean the reflectors and bulbs with isopropyl alcohol and a wipe.
Prism & Mirror
IMPORTANT: NEVER TOUCH THE PRISM OR MIRROR WITH BARE HANDS!
Natural oils from your skin may cause permanent damage to the surfaces or bond interfaces.
The prism and mirror should be cleaned once (1) a month with a non-abrasive tissue. Lens cleaner
(preferred) or isopropyl alcohol can be added to the tissue to remove difficult or heavy deposits. If
alcohol is used however, a second pass with a dry non-abrasive tissue is recommended to remove any
haze. At the factory we use Bausch & Lomb Sight Savers
®
#8566.
IMPORTANT: NEVER LEAVE THE COMPONENT/BOARD LIGHTING ON FOR AN
EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME OR WHILE THE SYSTEM IS UNATTENDED!
Excessive heat from the halogen lighting system can damage the bond interfaces of the prism.
Vision Calibration
The vision system on the machine should be verified and/or calibrated annually. This is completed
using the Calibration Kit included with the machine. A detailed procedure is explained below.
Z-Axis Lead Screw Shaft (for systems with Motorized Z-Axis)
This should be lubricated once (1) every six months. Manually drive the top heater head down to the
bottom home position, then turn the Power OFF. The shaft should be lubricated with a heavy grease
which will not melt or run at moderate temperatures, preferably a Lithium Grease compound (12-
Hydroxy Lithium Complex). At the factory we use StaPlex Premium E.P.. Restore power, and “Home”
Z-Axis.
Other
The machine should be kept clean to prevent build up of flux or other substances or objects that may
degrade performance or damage the machine.
