Maintenance
Warning
! Danger due to electrical voltage!
Dangerous currents may flow before and during assembly, disassembly and repair work.
Make sure that the system (e.g. linear motor axis) is properly earthed via the PE rail in the
switch cabinet before connecting the electrical power supply!
Electrical currents can also flow when the motor is not moving. Never disconnect electrical
connections while they are live. In unfavourable cases, electric arcs can occur and injure
persons and damage contacts!
Observe the assembly instructions of the other system components (e.g. linear motor,
servo drive)!
The distance measuring system works without making contact and thus in principle
maintenance-free. However, it must be regularly checked for dirt and, if necessary, cleaned with
a suitable cleaning agent (e.g. alcohol). Dirt particles between the encoder and the measuring
tape can destroy the distance measuring system.
Note:
After maintenance work, re-grease steel parts to avoid corrosion!
