maintenance work needs to be carried out:
● Regularly check that the traversing paths are free
● Regularly clean the motor space and remove foreign bodies (e.g. chips)
● Regularly check the condition of the motor components.
● Check the current consumption in the defined test cycle (compare with values of the
reference travel)
