Cleaning of end effector
1. Clean the end effector with water, mild
detergent, and a brush.
2. Adjust the nozzle on the water hose so
that the jet of water is of moderate force.
3. Flush with water to remove the cleaning
detergent.
4. Flush also at the joint on the end effector
and through the holes behind the camera to
remove dirt inside the end effector. Turn the
end effector slightly while flushing behind
the camera house to drain the water.
Cleaning of camera window
Always use soft and clean towels. Change
the towels several times during the cleaning
to avoid scratching the window with the dirt.
1. Flush the camera unit with water. Wait a
moment to let the water dissolve the dirt.
2. Carefully remove the dissolved dirt with a
damp and clean towel.
3. If the water did not dissolve all the dirt,
apply a mixture of water and a mild cleaning
detergent on the cover: for example, by
using a squeeze-bottle. Take a new damp,
clean towel and wipe the cover.
4. When the cover is clean, wipe it with a
dry and clean towel.
Note: If the teat localisation performance
deteriorates, check the camera window
carefully. Perhaps additional maintenance
below is required.
