5.3 Lubricating Z Ballscrew
The Z axis uses a ballscrew and ballnut instead of a rack and pinion.
The ballnut has a nipple for applying lubrication to the mechanism.
Lithium grease is pumped
into the lubrication point with
the application gun provided
with the machine.
Recommended Lubricants.
Lithium Based Grease:
• AlvaniaGreaseNo.2(Shell)orEquivalent.
• Techno Part No. H90Z00-8670T8
Oil:
• Vactra No. 2s(mobile)
• TonnerOilorEquivalent.
• Techno Part No. H90200-LUBE002
Oil and Grease Kit:
• Techno Part No. H90Z00-LUBEKIT2
NOTE: AVOID A BUILD UP OF DEBRIS ON MOVING PARTS.
CLEAN OFF ANY DEBRIS TO AVOID DAMAGING THE MACHINE.
5.1 Lubricating the X-Y Rack and Pinion.
Lubrication is important with rack and pinion gearing systems. A thin
lmofgreaseshouldalwaysbepresentonthecontactingtoothanks
to minimize metal to metal contact. Lithium grease lubrication is
recommendedoveroil,astheoillubricationwillowawayfromtooth
anks.Theracksshouldbecleanedwithadegreasingagentand
fresh clean grease should be applied at regular intervals depending
on the usage of the machine. It is recommended that this is done
every 80 hours of machine usage. Use a small brush to coat both
racks on the side of the Y axis and the single rack across the X axis.
5.2 Lubricating the X-Y-Z Rails
The rail carriage bearings are sealed and protected with wipers.
The rails should be lightly oiled to allow smooth operation. Avoid a
build up of debris on the rails by blowing them off with air or wiping
them down with a rag. The rails do not need to be lubricated as
oftenastherack.Onceamonthshouldbesufcient.
