XM-60 and XM-600 multi-axis calibrator
Care and handling
System
•
It is recommended to store the XM calibrator in the system case when
not in use.
•
Do not attempt to clean the system with water or other fluids.
•
Avoid exposure to oil and coolant.
•
Do not direct the air lines at the XM system.
•
Do not expose the system to impact.
Conduit
•
Ensure the conduit is not pinched, crushed or stretched. If damaged,
consult the
•
When storing in the case, twist the launch whilst vertical to allow the
conduit to coil.
•
If the laser is left in the case during measurement, do not close the lid of
the case to avoid damage to the conduit.
•
Fix the conduit using the magnetic cable clamps to ensure the conduit
does not drag, misaligning the launch.
•
Manually check the movement of the axis over the full range of the
test, before running a test.
•
Never hold the laser or launch by the conduit.
Optics
Cleaning of the optics should be a last resort
To maintain system performance, the XM optics must be kept clean by
following good handling practice:
•
Close the receiver and launch shutters when not in use.
•
Do not touch the optical surfaces.
•
Minimise use in contaminated atmospheres.
Cleaning recommendations
•
Only use approved solvents for cleaning the optics: Methylated spirit and
optical grade IPA only (methylated spirit is preferred to IPA).
•
Wipe only with non-abrasive lens tissue or lint-free cloth wrapped around
a cotton bud (do not use a cotton bud directly on the optic as this may
increase debris).
•
Clean the optics using a gentle action. Never use a scrubbing action as
this might damage the coatings.
Failure to follow these recommendations may lead to damage to the coatings
and glass elements of the optics.
