Lubricant Application (With Easy Lube Option):
For both
‘R5’
and
‘R6’
Preparations: Move the carriage to the center of travel. Make sure that the lube
hole on the carriage is aligned with the lube hole on the base. There is one lube hole on each side of
the unit (one hole supplies grease to both the screw and one rail, the other hole applies grease to the
other rail). Remove plugs and apply only one pump of grease per rail at a time. Move the carriage
700mm and apply again if necessary. If there is a buildup of grease, wipe the rails down with a clean
cloth. After greasing the rails check the encoder scale on the inside wall of the table. If there is grease
on the scale clean with a lint free cloth, removing all dirt and grease. Using a lint free cloth, wipe down
linear tape scale with isopropyl alcohol. Check the encoder to make sure it is getting proper counts by
moving the carriage by hand.
Note: Do not use/mix petroleum base grease with synthetic base grease at any time. For lubrication
under special conditions consult factory.
