Trouble Information - Sony GB-A Series Instruction Manual

6. Trouble Information

■ When the overrun cable becomes damaged, the scale
unit becomes deformed or other situations arise which
may affect scale performance, the unit must be repaired.
• In these case, stop the machine immediately and
consult your Sony Precision Technology distributor.
■ The scale unit may not be repairable, depending on the
extent of the damage.
Regular cleaning is recommended in order to prevent
these types of trouble beforehand.
• Clean away any cutting scraps at the start and finish of
work each day to prevent cutting scraps from
accumulating around the scale.
• Accumulated cutting scraps may impede the sliding
motion of the scale and result in malfunction.
• Avoid using an air gun or similar device to clean away
the cutting scraps. Although the running portions of
the scale unit are sealed, the scale unit does not have
a completely sealed structure. If an air gun or similar
device is used, cutting scraps and other objects may
enter the sealed portions of the scale and result in
malfunction.
