Preventative Maintenance Checks And Inspections
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS - Section 13
Always schedule regular carrier system inspections, no less than twice a year, to reduce the probability of unforeseen or avoidable damage and/or failure.
Standard carrier system inspections should include:
1. Clear out any and all debris and grime in the path of the carrier systems operation. Steel and nylon chain links do not require any grease/lubrication.
2.
Replace all damaged, worn or separated links.
3. Replace all damaged, worn or unlocked cavity cross bars.
4. Replace all damaged, worn or unlocked cavity vertical dividers or horizontal shelves.
5. Tighten, repair or replace all missing or damaged cable and hose strain relief.
6. Replace all worn, torn, ripped or damaged cables and/or hoses and find the root cause for these conditions - e.g. incorrect cable/hose type, jacket type, fit in cavity, strain relief and/or cable or hose length - then correct accordingly.
7. Replace or repair damaged or disengaged links at mounting bracket interface point.
8. Make sure all mounting bracket screws are tight and mounting brackets are properly aligned.
9. Check alignment of machine's drive-arm to the total travel of the carrier system and when applicable guide channel.
For long travel systems gliding on themselves in a guide channel add the following steps:
10. Replace all links exhibiting accelerated wear typically seen in first 2 meters of carrier length at both the moving and fixed end.
11. Repair or replace any and all damaged or deformed gliding plate sections of the guide channel (beginning at the center point of total travel and extending to the far end of the fully extended travel).
12. Clean out any dirt and debris from the entire length of the guide channel.
13. Replace any and all excessively worn glide shoes, buttons, or rollers.
