6.3.4 Cleaning of Linear Encoder Scale
Work procedures
When dust adhere to the encoder scale, it is may be caused the error.
Main errors to occur for dust; 12a:HDC SPEED, 509:HDC POSCNT.
When an error occur, clean 3 place above.
Only when the machine can not recovery after cleaning, replace the Linear Encoder Scale or Encoder sensor.
1. Surface of Linear encoder scale.
•Clean the surface of scale to wipe lightly with cleaning stick.
2. Linear encoder sensor.
•Clean the surface of sensor to wipe with cleaning stick.
•Do not push the cleaning stick forcibly, only clean the range to
be able to reach it.
Turn the main power OFF when turning the power OFF. It is very dangerous if sleep mode func-
tions mistakenly during the operation.
While at work, be sure not to attach fingerprints or oil to the linear encoder scale. Also, pay atten-
tion not to break or scratch it. (If contaminated, clean the scale with a neutral detergent.)
Cleaning place
1 linear encoder scale surface
2 inside of scale cover
3 edge of the pass for
linear encoder sensor
Avoid use materials whose contact part is the fiber
(e.g. swab etc.) to clean.
