Running Cleaning Stroke of the Linear AxisInterval 200 Hours Operating time Component Guide rails of X, Y and Z axes Always run the cleaning strokes, regardless of the interval, if you want to shut down the machine for more than 8 hours so that no residues remain on the guide rails. This prevents wear on the dirt wipers and linear roller guides. Run all three linear axes consecutively. If you move the linear axes by hand, watch out for danger of collision by workpiece, clamping fixture and tool. Procedure Motors are switched on. Run linear axes back and forth once over the entire stroke. The dirt wipers on the runner blocks wipe the guide rails. Switch off motors. |
