Maintenance and cleaning
| |
Ensure safe state for cleaning work Carrying cleaning work during operation can lead to serious or fatal injuries. Bring the connected motors and the machine into a safe, de-energized state for cleaning. |
Notice | |
Do not immerse components and do not clean with running water Water and other liquids can damage the components and lead to leakage problems in the system. Clean the components only with a clean, lint-free cloth or brush. Only use approved cleaning agents. |
Notice | |
Avoid damage due to the use of aggressive substances The components can be damaged if aggressive substances are used. Apply detergent to a clean, lint-free cloth. The cleaning agent must not be applied to the components. Unsuitable cleaning agents can damage the components and considerably reduce the service life of the components. |
Beckhoff prescribes maintenance intervals to prevent permanent damage to the components. Dirt, dust or swarf can have a negative impact on the function of the components and cause the system to fail. Therefore, clean and maintain the components at the prescribed intervals. Further information can be found in chapter Intervals.
