SECTION 5 - BASIC MAINTENANCE
5.1 GENERAL CLEANING OF THE SYSTEM
A visual inspection of the machine should be done at least once a day. If dirt or debris is present a
general cleaning should be performed. The frequency of cleaning will depend entirely on the type of
material being cut or engraved. Dirt allowed to build up in any parts of the motion system will cause
uneven engraving or loss of position as well as damage to optics and premature failure of the motion
system components. Use good judgment and keep in mind that a clean machine is the best performing
machine.
NOTE : The rails of the system should be wiped down with a dry lint free cloth at least once a day
regardless of whether a general cleaning is required. This will guarantee longer bearing life.
CAUTION : Never lubricate the motion system.
WARNING
Always turn the laser engraving system off and unplug it before performing any cleaning
procedures.
General cleaning procedure:
1.
Ensure that the system is turned off and unplugged and open the top door.
2.
Thoroughly remove all loose dirt and debris from inside the machine.
3.
With the engraving table fully in the up position, clean table surface with glass cleaner and paper
towels.
4.
Move engraving table down to bottom position and clean the vertical slide which moves the plate
up and down with glass cleaner and paper towel.
5.
Clean all of the rails of the motion system, using a cotton swab and alcohol. Pay particularly
close attention to the grooves that the bearings move in since any debris left to build up in these
grooves will cause the bearings to wear and the motion system to become rough.
6.
After the rails are cleaned, use a clean swab and alcohol to clean all of the bearings by holding
the swab against each bearing and moving the motion system by hand to roll the bearings against
the swab. There are seven bearings in the system, three on the small optics holder assembly and
four on the front of the motion system arm. The four front bearings can be cleaned most easily
through the front door.
