M a i n t e n a n c e a n d c l e a n i n g Beckhoff recommends service intervals in order to avoid permanent damage to the system. Contamination, dust or chips can have a negative effect on the function of the components.
Maintenance and cleaning Operation beyond the permissible environmental conditions and op- Intervals erating states will shorten the intervals. The service life of consum- ables may be shortened depending on the mechanical dynamics due to mounted devices and movements. We have provided you with a list of maintenance work and intervals for the associated com- ponents below.
