Visual Inspection of Exterior
In the visual inspection of exterior, check the following items.
Actuator
Loose actuator mounting bolts, etc.
Cables
Scratches, connection at connectors
Overall
Abnormal noise, vibration
If the actuator is fixed vertically, grease on the guide may drip depending on the environment. In this case,
clean the dirtied areas and add grease.
13.3 Cleaning
Clean exterior surfaces as necessary.
Use a soft cloth to wipe away dirt and buildup.
Do not blow too hard with compressed air as it may cause dust to get in through the gaps.
Do not use oil-based solvents as they can harm lacquered and painted surfaces.
To remove severe buildup, wipe gently with a soft cloth soaked in a neutral detergent or alcohol.
Continuous back and forth operation within a distance less than 30mm may cause wear of grease.
It is recommended to have 5 rounds of back and forth operation in a distance more than 50mm after every
5,000 to 10,000 rounds of the short distance operation. (Conduct back and forth operation in full stroke
distance for ROBO Cylinder with its stroke less than 50mm.) A layer of the grease will recover.
