4.5.1 Checking spline shaft Z-axis operation
The following describes the operation inspecting of the spline shaft Z-axis.
e
1
Move the head unit.
1. Press the emergency stop button and then open the machine safety cover.
2. If the machine is equipped with a carriage, remove the carriage to allow you to easily access the
head.
3. Move the head unit forward.
2
Move spline shaft Z-axis up or
down.
Press down the lower part of the joint block
of the spline shaft Z-axis with finger. The joint
block returns to the original position by
releasing finger. Check that no heaviness,
unsteady movement, or abnormal sound
compare to the other spline shaft is found.

shaft area.
c
CAUTION
If operating machine with the unsteady movement of
the spline shaft may cause fatal accidents. Stop

4.5.3 Lubricating the spline shaft (as needed)
n
NOTE
Basically, the lubricating the spline shaft (Z-axis) is not required. However, the grease on the spline shaft surface is
removed by touching with hand or by sprinkling solvent. As a result, the spline shaft gets easily rusted. Apply the
specified grease (NSL) slightly for anti-rusting as needed.

4.6 Checking the SC-axis flex cable
The SC-axis flex cable is a flat multi-cable designed for rigidity to prevent the harness from drooping as it
moves along with the scan camera. However, the cable may eventually droop due to warping or weakening
from long-term use. If cable drooping occurs, then the cable may come in contact with moving parts and cause
trouble. We recommend making periodic checks and replacing the cable if drooping becomes obvious.
