Core maintenance concept

The core of the driver isPrecision linear guides, motors, and gear setsThe maintenance objectives are:Ensure smooth sliding, no impurities, moderate lubrication, and prevent any form of mechanical damage.

[Daily/After Use Maintenance]

This is preventive maintenance, which only takes 1-2 minutes.

1. Return and Lock

• After the measurement is completed, pressSTOPorHOMEPress the key to automatically return the driver to its starting position.

• Immediately use the drive arm locking deviceSecure the arm firmly. This is a crucial step in preventing vibration damage to internal mechanisms during transportation.

2. External cleaning

• useClean soft clothordust-free paperWipe the drive housing.

• Key cleaningExposed part of guide rail(Two parallel metal strips below the drive), gently wipe away floating dust and oil stains in a single direction with a cloth.

• Strictly prohibitedTouch the guide rail directly with dirty hands.

3. Needle protection

• Carefully remove the measuring needle (if necessary) and place it in a dedicated box.

• Immediately cover the measuring needle protective coverThis provides dual protection for the precision connectors at the front end of the probe and driver.

Periodic deep maintenance (every 1-2 weeks or after 50 hours of use)

This isCore maintenance proceduresIt should be carried out on a clean and dust-free workbench.

Step 1: Clean the guide rail

1. Prepare tools:Anhydrous ethanol (analytical grade), dust-free cotton swabs, air balloons, and lint free soft cloth.

2. Operation:

• Place the driver in the middle section of the travel, exposing the entire guide rail.

• useblow up a balloonBlow away the large particles of dust in the groove of the guide rail.

• useDip a cotton swab into a small amount of anhydrous ethanolGently roll and wipe along the guide rail in one direction until there is no obvious dirt on the cotton swab.Attention: Use less ethanol to prevent it from seeping into the interior.

• Use immediatelyDry cotton swaborDry soft clothWipe off any remaining liquid.

• wait1-2 minutesEnsure that ethanol evaporates.

Step 2: Micro lubrication (key step)

• Lubricant selection: must useRecommended by instrument manufacturersSpecial lubricating grease or low viscosity silicone oil.ProhibitedOrdinary butter, engine oil, WD-40, etc.

• Lubrication method (a small amount of gold):

1. Using oneClean toothpickorpinpointPick and chooseGrain size of riceEven less specialized lubricating grease.

2. Apply this lubricating greaseapply evenly ontwoSide and top of the guide rail(Avoid accumulation of grooves).

3. Alternatively, using fluorine/silicon containing materialsSpray type dry lubricantSpray gently at a distance of 20cm, then wipe off any excess with a cloth.

4. Manually, slowly and gentlySlide the driver several times throughout the entire process to evenly distribute the lubricant.

5. Wipe off any visible excess grease with a dry cloth. The ideal state isThere is a layer of oil film that is almost invisible to the naked eye.

Step 3: Mechanical Inspection

1. Smooth sliding inspection:Slowly push the driver with a constant force by hand in an unpowered state. Feel if it movesSmooth throughout the entire process, even resistance, and no lag or "rustling" sensation.

2. Abnormal noise and shaking inspection:When sliding, approach your ears and listen for any abnormal friction sounds. Check if there is any looseness at the connection between the driver and the body.

3. Return accuracy check:After powering on, perform a zeroing operation and observe whether the driver can accurately return to the mechanical origin and maintain the same position each time.

[Maintenance Tool Kit List]

Prepare a specialized tool box for driver maintenance:

1. Anhydrous ethanol (500ml small bottle)

2. Ultra fine dust-free cotton swabs (one box)

3. Rubber blowing balloon (one)

4. Instrument specific lubricating grease/silicone oil (one small tube)

5. Disposable dust-free gloves (one pair)

6. Precision electrical cleaning cloth (several sheets)

7. Strong light flashlight (used to check the condition of the guide rail)

[Warning signal for repair]

When the following situations occur,Do not continue to use or attempt to repair on your ownImmediately contact the repair station:

• After power on, the driver does not operate or operates randomly.

• After cleaning and lubrication, the feeling of jamming or abnormal noise still exists.

• The repeatability of the measurement data is extremely poor, and the reasons for measuring needles and calibration have been ruled out.

• The drive casing has physical deformation or cracks.

• There are on the guide railVisible scratches, dents, or rust.

Summary:The maintenance of the drive is the key to successDiligence and meticulousness.Regular cleaning is the foundation for maintaining performance, correct and minimal lubrication is the key to maintaining smoothness, and standardized operation (returning and locking) is the fundamental way to prevent accidental damage.Treat it like a precision optical lens, and it will reward you with long-term stable and reliable measurement services.
