5.1 Introduction
Due to their direct-drive design the AdeptModules require very little maintenance . This
chapter describes the preventive maintenance procedures that are required to keep the
AdeptModules system operating properly.
5.2 Modules Lubrication
Lubrication Schedule
Each Module should be lubricated after 5000 kilometers (3,100 miles or 16,400,000 feet) of
travel.
To calculate the estimated time it will take for a module to travel this distance, use the
following equation:
Number of Hours = Travel Distance to Lubricate x Seconds per Cycle
Travel Distance per Cycle x 3600 seconds per hour
For example, if a module performs a 2-meter travel in 4 seconds the recommended
number of elapsed hours between lubrication is:
Number of Hours = 5,000,000 meters x 4 seconds per cycle = 2,778 hours
2 meters per cycle x 3600 seconds per hour
2,778 hours could translate to a different lubrication interval (in weeks) depending on the
production schedule of the modules equipment:
Table 5-1 provides an estimated lubrication schedule (in actual production weeks) based
on the length of the module and an assumption of the travel distance and time required to
perform the cycle. If your system includes two or more modules, all modules should be
lubricated at the same time and the time should be determined by the module that
requires the most frequent lubrication.
