5.5.1 Cleaning Dimensional Scales
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. Lubricants, fingerprints and other dirt residue must be
removed.
A clean, lint-free cloth should be used for cleaning. White spirit or rubbing alcohol
are suitable cleaning fluids.
Wipe down the dimensional scale on the surface of the guideway with a soaked
cloth. Repeat the cleaning several times with a clean cloth for heavy dirt.
5.5.2 Mounting and dismounting carriages (MINIRAIL or MINISCALE PLUS)
onto guideways
Use the included protective plastic rail. This protects the carriage from dirt and
prevents it jamming, causing the ball bearings to subsequently escape.
Place the protective plastic rail in line with the guide rail and slide the MINIRAIL or
MINISCALE PLUS carriage onto it.
For MINISCALE PLUS carriages, ensure the sensor is over the dimensional scale
on the guideway.
