MAINTENANCE FOR EARLIER MODELS

Most maintenance procedures are similar to those for the current models. However, the

process for lubrication differs slightly with the earlier models.

LUBRICATION FOR SERIES1 AND SERIES2 VISION MODELS

Lubricating the Z-Axis Linear Bearings

The Z-axis linear bearing provides the support for the spindle block

assembly. It can be lubricated without removing the carriage cover.

For ease of lubrication, a grease gun is recommended.

(Inexpensive grease gun models (under $20) are available at most

hardware and tool stores.) The grease fitting on the bearing is

compatible with those in automotive applications. Although most

bearing greases are acceptable, the bearing manufacturer suggests

a lithium soap-based #2 grease. The linear bearing should be

lubricated approximately every six months (see fig 6.7).

The grease fitting is located on either the top or bottom of the

slide assembly, depending on the type of table. If there is a white

plastic cap on the fitting, remove it and save it. Attach the grease

gun to the grease fitting and pump a small amount of grease into

the assembly. (One or two squeezes should be adequate - squeeze

the trigger gently until a slight pressure is felt. If the grease comes

out above or below the side assembly, stop lubrication and wipe

off the excess.) After lubrication, replace the white plastic cap if

applicable. Run the slide up and down the rail a few times to

spread the grease evenly.
