Regular maintenance on the guide rails, particularly on the X-axis and Z-axis rails, can ensure smooth movement of the laser module and produce ideal processing results.

Cleaning frequency:

• For heavy use (machines running more than 8 hours a day), clean at least every 15 days.
• For low usage (machines running less than 2 hours a day), clean at least every 2 months.

Follow the steps to do regular maintenance on the guide rails:

For the X-axis guide rails:

• Clean the four pulleys on the laser module and the two shafts on the X-gantry with cotton swabs moistened with ethyl alcohol.
• Manually move the laser module left and right to ensure that the pulleys and shafts are thoroughly cleaned.
• Apply the lubricant grease to the shafts after cleaning.

For the Z-axis guide rail:

• Remove the front magnetic cover of the laser module.
• As demonstrated, lower the laser head to the lowest point on the Z-axis by twisting the shaft or pressing the stepper motor down.
• Clean the threaded shaft with cotton swabs moistened with ethyl alcohol.
• Apply the lubricant grease to the shaft and put the cover back.
