Clean Gantry Rails

Introduction
Dust and debris can accumulate on the gantry rails, which run along the length of the
table. The bearings that run on the rails are equipped with shields that are designed to
keep debris from entering the bearing housing. After a period of time and use, debris can
accumulate on the outside of the bearing shields as the gantry travels along the table.
When to do
If you notice any dirt or ink on the gantry rails, or an accumulation of debris on the rails
bearings, clean them immediately.
Required tool
Poly-Wipe lint-free Cloth
Attention:
In the event of an ink spill on the rail, it should be cleaned immediately, before the
bearings have a chance to run over the spill. After the area has been cleaned, wipe the
spill area again thoroughly with a water-moistened lint-free cloth to remove any chemical
residue before running the gantry over the area again. Slight ink stains that remain on
the rail after cleaning are not a major problem.
