4.1. Service and Inspection Schedule

Until you can find the correct inspection interval for your system, set the interval for once a month.
Use the system application(s) and conditions (duty cycle, speed, and environment) to define the
inspection interval.
Monthly inspections should include but not be limited to:
Visually inspect the galvo, components, and cables.
l
Re-tighten loose connectors.
l
Replace or repair damaged cables.
l
Clean the AGV-HP(O) and any components and cables as needed.
l
Repair any damage before you operate the AGV-HP(O).
l
Inspect and perform an operational check on all safeguards and protective devices.
l
It is usually not possible for Aerotech field service personnel to do repairs and/or replace
components. Contact Aerotech Global Technical Support for more information and to determine if
the AGV-HP(O) should be sent back to the factory for maintenance.

4.2. Cleaning and Lubrication

There are no elements on the AGV-HP(O) that require lubrication.
Before you use a cleaning solvent on any part of the AGV-HP(O), blow away small particles and dust
with nitrogen or, less preferably, clean, dry, compressed air.
Use isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free cloth to clean any external metal surface of the AGV-HP(O).
