4 Preventive Maintenance
4.1 Introduction
The Fox requires little maintenance but as with any machine correct and regular preventive
maintenance will optimize efficiency and help to reduce downtime during production.
Should an assembly or sub-assembly require removal and/or replacement, it is important that the
correct procedures, as detailed in the Corrective Maintenance Chapters, are followed. After removal
and/or replacement procedures it might be necessary to calibrate the machine.
Because of various prerequisites (a,b,c), sometimes it is necessary to split the preventive
maintenance procedures (e.g. Weekly Maintenance a / b / ...). It is essential to go through all
mentioned procedures.
For better visibility of subjacent functions, covers have been removed or opened before
taking pictures. In standard operating mode all covers have to be in place at any time.
High voltage!
The system must be disconnected from the mains electrical power supply when a high
voltage label is encountered during installation, maintenance or setup.
Hazards or unsafe practices could result in severe personal injury or death.
Only qualified personnel is allowed to carry out any work on the system's power supply.
Never touch any components behind a cover or a door with a 'high voltage' label before the
equipment is disconnected from the main electrical power and locked against re-connecting.
Be aware, even switched off motors can induce a high voltage during manual movement of
any axis (generator principle).
