Cleaning
Before using a cleaning solvent on any part of the LaserTurn
®
1, blow away small particles and dust with
nitrogen or, less preferably, clean, dry, compressed air.
Any external metal surface of the LaserTurn
®
1 can be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free cloth.
Harsher solvents, such as acetone, may damage the plastic and rubber seals on the linear bearing trucks.
W A R N I N G : Make sure that all solvent has completely evaporated before attempting to
move the stage.
W A R N I N G : Acetone should never be used to clean the o-rings or seals.
Lubrication
N O T E :
During the lubrication procedure, inspect the linear motion guides for any damage or signs of
wear.
If the application process uses only a small portion of travel for most of the duty cycle, periodically drive the
stage through full travel to redistribute the lubrication in the bearings.
