Monthly Maintenance
Verify the belt status
Check carefully the wear of the belt. It should have no notches, no failing teeth, no gap.
In case of gap, adjust the tensioning (refer to the procedure "Belt tensioning adjustment").
In case of strong wear, replace the belt (refer to "Spare parts, Belt drive").
Cleaning of the bar feeder
Wipe down the outside of the bar feeder with a cloth and any regular detergent. For cleaning the inside of
the bar feed, use a cloth or brush, however, do not use these on any of the rollers or any other parts
made of synthetic materials. The use of compressed air for cleaning is not advisable, because chips and
other particles can become lodged in sensitive areas and can impede the proper operation of the bar
feeder.
Annual Maintenance
Check the PLC battery
The PLC backup battery saves the PLC program in case of any power failure. The battery used in the
controller is a non-rechargeable 3VDC Lithium/ CD2032 battery. Over time, the battery will slowly
discharge and an alarm message will appear on the remote control station (Low PLC Battery).
The following chart shows the average life expectancy of the battery:
