4.2 Visual Inspection
For the visual inspection, check the appearance following items.
Main Body Looseness of attachment screws
Cables Scratches, proper connection of connectors
Overall vibration or abnormal noise
x For Z-axis, it can be considered that the grease applied to the guide may drop depending on
the environment. Clean it up and have a grease supply when necessary.
4.3 Cleaning
x Please clean the external body at any time.
x When cleaning, wipe with a soft cloth to remove dust and dirt.
x Do not blow compressed air so dust would not get in from gaps.
x Do not apply petroleum solvent since it may damage the resin or painted surfaces.
x When extremely dirty, wipe it off firmly with cloth that neutral detergent or alcohol is applied
on.
Caution: If the actuators are operated back and forth repeatedly over a distance of 30mm
or less, the oil film created by the grease may be broken. To keep operating in
this condition may cause abnormal noise and vibration, resulting in a malfunction
to cause flaking. It is recommended to have 5 cycles of back and forth operation
in a distance more than 50mm after every 5,000 to 10,000 rounds of the short
distance operation. A layer of the grease will recover.
