To prevent torsion, the machine should only be transported (for example in case of Freestyle Milling™
on a construction site) with machine table installed.
Packaging
If you do not want to reuse the packaging material of the machine and its components, please sepa-
rate it according to the disposal conditions on site and take it to a collection center for recycling or dis-
pose of it.
Storage
If the machine or its components is not used for a longer period, please observe the following points
regarding storage:
- Only store the machine and the components in closed rooms.
- Protect the machine and the components against humidity, wetness, cold, heat and direct sun
radiation.
- Store the machine and its components dust-free and cover it if necessary.
- The storage place must not be subjected to vibrations.
10. Maintenance
General
Prior to commissioning the CNC gantry milling system it has to be ensured that the machine is in a
technically perfect and well-maintained condition. Always ensure that the machine is set currentless if
you want to perform adjustment or maintenance works. For this purpose, disconnect the power plug.
Please make sure to set system-guided tools with own power supply currentless as well!
Sharp-edged cutting tools are to be dismounted. Clamped milling tools equal a high risk of injury.
Remove workpieces you have clamped onto the machine table including the individual clamping ele-
ments.
Only tools of high quality are to be used.
Information on Lubrication of igus® dryspin Threaded
Lead Screws
Basically, igus® dryspin threaded lead screws do not require maintenance or lubrication. Nevertheless,
we recommend the regular lubrication with a low-viscosity oil (for example sewing machine oil) for
smooth running optimization and noise reduction.
We recommend the use of the STEPCRAFT Cleansing Oil (item no. 12051).
Information on Lubrication of optional HIWIN® Ball Screws
The ball screws have to be sufficiently lubricated to maintain their functionality. The required lubrica-
tion interval is determined by the environmental conditions. Generally, lubrication is required every 100
to 200 operating hours. A guideline for the lubrication interval is approx. 1 cm³ lubrication per ball
screw nut.
