4 MAINTENANCE
This chapter describes cleaning and daily maintenance of this
measuring system.
4.1 Cleaning External Parts
Gently wipe off dirt from the exterior using a lint-free and soft cloth. If the contaminations
are persistent, wipe them carefully with a cloth soaked in a diluted neutral detergent and
tightly squeezed, then wipe dry with another cloth.
Do not use benzene, thinner, or chemically treated cloth for cleaning the exterior of the
unit since the surface may discolor and the paint may peel.
4.2 Grease Application
The screws and X-axis guide integrated in the measuring main unit need periodic grease
application (approx. once a year or once every 10,000 reciprocations).
The linear guide and shaft used in the column need periodic grease application (approx.
once a year or once every 10,000 reciprocations).
Grease application is included in maintenance of inside the machine and therefore needs
to be performed by an expert service engineer. When grease application is needed,
contact your dealer or the nearest Mitutoyo sales office/service center.
Mitutoyo will undertake the periodic inspection (for a charge) including accuracy
inspection and grease application.
To maintain optimal performance over an extended period, this system should be
periodically inspected by a Mitutoyo service engineer. For detailed information about
maintenance contract and periodic checks, contact your dealer or the nearest Mitutoyo
sales office/service center.
