8 Maintaining the System
MVR vision metrology systems have been designed for years of superior service. Periodic maintenance as outlined in this section should be performed to maintain the system in peak operating condition.
• Perform a daily inspection to ensure that the system is operating correctly and that proper safety guidelines are being followed.
• Periodically verify basic optical performance.
• Periodically perform cleaning and lubrication.
• Schedule regular factory-authorized calibration and maintenance service to preserve proper function and accuracy.
8.1 Performing Daily Inspections
On a daily basis, inspect your system for general safety and basic functionality:
• Verify that the work area is clean, dry, and free of debris. Remove any debris or loose items from around the system and metrology stage.
• Verify that the electrical power cord is plugged into a grounded power source and is unobstructed.
• Verify that temperature and humidity are within recommended ranges.
• Allow the system to warm up to normal operating temperature before performing critical parts measurements.
8.2 Performing Weekly or Monthly Maintenance
On a weekly or monthly basis (based on experience), do the following:
• Inspect the system for cleanliness. If dirty, refer to “Cleaning the System” later in this section.
• Verify that the stage control mechanisms move freely. If it binds, call for service. The lead screws use a self-lubricating TFE coating, which is designed to last for the life of the product. Do not apply any grease or other lubricant.
• Check the system for calibration against a certified chrome-on-glass standard.
