The Marking Systems and Shuttle

[Label or Laser Marking only] Laser Marker and Label Marker Sys-

tems are optional equipment on your PS Programming System. Your

PS Machine may not have either. Each marking system requires some

maintenance. Both have a computer with filter, and both have a

marker Shuttle Assembly. The Tape Out System also uses a Shuttle

Assembly. In addition, Laser Markers have fume extractors.

The Shuttle Assembly

Whether you have a Laser Marker or Label Marker System, Shuttle

Transfer Assemblies attached to a belt transport devices to and from

the marker. The Shuttle Assembly requires periodic maintenance.

Cleaning the Shuttle Assembly

During extended or heavy periods of use, the shuttle assembly may

become dirty and gummed up by laser dust or other foreign material.

This situation may cause the shuttle assembly to stall during move-

ment to and from the laser mark position.

WARNING: Electric shock hazard. Shut off the PS System (Turn-

ing Off the System on page 4-4) and switch off the main power

switch.

Hazardous materials: Do not use compressed air to remove laser

dust. Wear safety goggles and disposable protective gloves.

To clean the laser marker shuttle assembly:

1. Preparation—

1a. Shut off the PS System power and ensure the main power switch

is in the OFF position.

1b. Put on safety goggles and disposable protective gloves.

1c. Remove the upper left Option Bay panel (1/8 in. Hex Key) to

access the laser housing. See Figure 4-30. Remove Option Bay

panels as needed for cleaning the laser marking system.

side panels have been removed.

2. Clean—

2a. Use a damp paper towel and antistatic cleaner to wipe laser

marking dust and other foreign material from the housing into a

sealable plastic bag.

2b. Clean the shuttle track using a lint-free cloth.

2c. Place paper towels, cloth, and protective gloves into a sealable

plastic bag. Seal the bag and dispose of as hazardous waste.

Remove safety goggles.

WARNING: Numerous government regulations apply to the stor-

age of hazardous waste. Ensure that contaminated filters are

properly labeled and stored in your hazardous waste storage

area. Also, make sure that they are not stored on your site longer

than government regulations allow (the typical limit is 90 days).

Check your government (local, state, and federal) regulations for

hazardous waste storage requirements.

3. Lubricate—

3a. Lubricate the bearing block and shuttle track with Tri-Flow

lubricant.

Note: Use a small amount of lubricant, just enough to allow the

bearing block to move freely on the track. Too much lubricant will

aid in the build up of contamination and cause stalling.

4. Reinstall—

4a. Reinstall all Option Bay panels.
