Cleaning and Maintenance
Turn off the main switch each time before cleaning and servicing and pull off
the mains plug to prevent accidental restarting.
-
Clean the machine from all swarf using at regular intervals using a hand brush or a
vacuum cleaner (not compressed air). This protects the mechanical elements from
early wear.
-
The sealing lips incorporate a Teflon component and do not require any special
maintenance.
-
To clean the plastic windows, use non-abrasive fluid cleaner.
-
The guide rails and drive shafts are provided with long-time lubrication at the factory.
Depending on the use, you should relubricate the guides and drive shafts approx.
every 500 ... 1,000 operating hours. To do so, use standard roller bearing grease. If
you use oil, you should lubricate every 100 ... 200 operating hours.
When the machine is delivered, the guides and shafts are lubricated with sodium soap
grease GP00/000F-20 to DIN 51 502.
Do not apply too much lubrication at once; the shafts and steel rails do need not to
be swimming in grease.
Before lubricating, first start referencing, subsequently open the cover and only then
turn off the machine.
To make comprehensive maintenance work easier, you can remove the panelling.
Do not misuse this option for normal operation; this would violate all safety rules!
Two black plastic plugs each are to be found on each side of
the Z axis. The lubricating nipples are located beneath when
the slide stands at the upper or lower limit switch.
For lubrication, remove the plugs, traverse or move the
slide against the limit switches and lubricate through the
now visible lubricating nipples (S)
*
(top: 2, bottom: 2).
When the machine is turned off, you may move the slides of the Y and Z axes
into the limit switches manually.
*
marks a lubricating nipple or the access to the lubrication points
in all drawings.
