7.1 General Notes on Maintenance
NOTICE
Damage due to improper maintenance!
Improper maintenance can lead to misalignment and failure of the L-509.
 Only loosen screws according to the instructions in this manual.

7.2 Performing a Maintenance Run
Depending on the operating conditions and the period of use of the L-509, the following
maintenance measures are required:
Maintenance run
The maintenance run serves to distribute the existing lubricant.
 After 500 operating hours or at least after 1 year, carry out a maintenance run over the
entire travel range, in order for the lubricant present to be equally distributed.
 If you operate your stage continuously over only a small working range (<20% of the
entire travel range), perform a run across the entire travel range approximately every
2000 motion cycles.
Lubrication
Under laboratory conditions, the stage needs extra lubrication in exceptional cases only. For
continuous industrial use, the lubrication intervals must be defined individually.
 If you have any questions, contact our customer service department (p. 45).
