Clean Linear Encoders
Introduction
The linear encoders allow the gantry and the carriage to maintain the proper speed and orientation during the printing process.
The Y-axis encoder strip is located on the gantry and tracks the movement of the carriage across the table. The X-axis encoder
stip is located along the length of the table and tracks the movement of the gantry along the table.
Purpose
Both of these encoders must be kept clean so that their ability to track the encoders is not compromised.
When to do
Inspect the encoder strips every few months and wipe them with a cloth if they are dusty or dirty. Clean them with alcohol
at least once a year, or more often if required.
Before you begin
The linear encoders are protected by a lacquer coating which makes them tolerant to handling and contamination, but this
coating can be damaged by exposure to aggressive solvents.
Required tools
Poly-Wipe lint-free Cloth
Iso-Propyl Alcohol
Attention:
DO NOT use the following aggressive solvents to clean the scale: Acetone, Chlorinated Solvents, Benzine,
Methylated Spirits.
Caution:
DO NOT attempt to wipe off an aggressive solvent if the scale is accidentally splashed. Allow the solvent to
evaporate naturally to leave the protective lacquer undamaged.
How to Clean the Encoder Strips
1.
To clean the ecoder strips, wipe them with a clean dry cloth.
If necessary wipe with a wetted cloth soaked sparingly with iso-propyl alcohol.
