Maintenance Plan

Overview

The maintenance intervals may have to be adapted to the greatly varying operational hours depending on the application.

For procedures to replace the different parts, refer to Replacing Parts.

Maintenance Schedule

Perform the following maintenance tasks after delivery:

Date

Action

After two months of service life

oVerify the axis by visual inspection for any damage or missing parts, especially for moving parts and parts at risk for collisions such as end plate, toothed belt tensioner, ball bearing of the toothed belt pulley/rack pinion, linear ball bearing, sliding bearing, guide rods, gear rack, or mounting elements.

oVerify the tension of toothed belt and adjust it if necessary.

Perform the following maintenance tasks within the stated intervals:

Interval

Action

Every 400 hours of operation

or

every month

oClean the axis if necessary.

oVerify the lubrication of the guide rods and, if necessary, lubricate the guide rods to avoid corrosion.

oVerify the lubrication of the gear rack and lubricate the gear rack if necessary (only CAR40).

Every 2,000 hours of operation

or

every six months

oClean the axis.

oVerify the toothed belt abrasion and replace the toothed belt if necessary.

oVerify the tension of toothed belt and adjust it if necessary.

oVerify the axis by visual inspection for any damage or missing parts. Especially moving parts and parts at risk for collisions such as end plate, toothed belt tensioner, ball bearing of the toothed belt pulley/rack pinion, linear ball bearing, sliding bearing, guide rods, gear rack, or mounting elements.

oVerify the sensors for functionality.

oVerify all parts for bolted connections.

oLubricate the guide rods slightly to avoid corrosion.

oLubricate the gear rack (only CAR40).

Annually

or

after an uncontrolled stop (stop category 0)

oVerify the brake function during operations. For further information, refer to the corresponding motor manual of the optionally pre-installed Schneider Electric motor.

Every 20,000 hours of operation

oReplace the optionally pre-installed Schneider Electric motor.

Every 30,000 hours of operation

oReplace the optionally pre-installed Schneider Electric gearbox.

Every four years after the date of manufacturing (DOM)

oReplace the toothed belt as a precautionary measure.

oSuggestion: Replace the toothed belt pulley and deflection pulleys when replacing the toothed belt.

NOTE: The gearbox (optional equipment), ball bearings, and linear ball bearings are lubricated for life.
