Page 11: Installing The Guideway
• Before installation, the guideway, machine bed, mounting plate and fastening screws must all be at room temperature. • The MINISCALE PLUS sensor is an electrostatically vulnerable component and is delivered in ESD-protective packaging. To ensure the sensor remains protected, the ESD-protective packaging should not be removed during installation of the MINISCALE PLUS guideway. - Page 12 The dimensional scale of the measuring system is located on the top side of the MINISCALE PLUS guideway. After the guideway has been fixed but before the carriage is mounted, the dimensional scale must be cleaned to ensure it can be read by the sensor.

Strength class A2-70 M1.6 5.7. Lubrication of MINISCALE PLUS If MINISCALE PLUS or MINIRAIL carriages are used on a guideway, all carriages are lubricated during manufacture (with KLÜBER Isoflex NBU15). Regarding subsequent lubrication, refer to the guidelines for MINISCALE PLUS. 5.7.1 Subsequent Lubrication Intervals for MINISCALE PLUS The subsequent lubrication interval depends on many variables, e.g. -

ESD-protective packaging Conductive tape As soon as it is removed from the protective packaging, MINISCALE PLUS and the interface module of the flexible printed circuit board must be protected against electrostatic fields and discharge. As soon as MINISCALE PLUS is assembled and... - Page 15 MINISCALE PLUS should be operated. An ESD wrist strap with ground cable or crocodile clamps on the machine bed acting as such should be used as a minimum when installing MINISCALE PLUS. Provided the MINISCALE PLUS flexible printed circuit board is in the ESD-protec- tive packaging, no ESD protection or wrist strap is necessary.
