9. Maintenance
9.1. General instructions
Maintenance of the machine is carried out to ensure a constant-ready status, and to
prevent premature failure. Maintenance includes preventive measures aimed at identifying
and eliminating the defects, and at ensuring the normal operation of the machine. It is
recommended to perform the daily and annual maintenance work.
9.2. Safety precautions
Observe the safety precautions outlined in Paragraph 1 of this User's Manual.
9.3. Maintenance procedure
9.3.1. Daily maintenance work
Daily maintenance work includes:
·
visual inspection of the machine,
·
checking the completeness of the machine,
·
checking for any damage to structural elements, power and instrument cables,
display and connectors,
·
checking for the presence of contamination on the linear guide, and, if necessary,
wiping with a clean lint-free cloth,
·
checking the loosening of screw connections,
·
optical signal quality control.
9.3.1.1. Checking the loosening of screw connections
Check the screw connections of the linear translation system, micrometer, and
table. Tightening force should provide the backlash-free connection and not lead to
destruction of the threaded connection.
Tight the fixing screws of the racks until there are no gaps, but apply a force no
more than 1.3 N•m.
9.3.1.2. Optical signal quality control
To ensure the required measurement accuracy, the optical windows of the
micrometer should not have any contamination or damage. Controlling the quality of the
optical signal allows to assess the degree of contamination.
