4.7.2 Lubricating the X-, Y-, and Z-Axis Linear Guides
NOTE To perform the following procedure, you will need Nordson ASYMTEK Grease Kit P/N
7203262. The kit contains a grease syringe.
To lubricate the linear guides:
1. Remove the X- and Y-axis covers as described previously in this section.
2. Load the grease cartridge into the grease syringe.
3. Purge the air from the grease syringe by dispensing grease until a solid stream flows from
the syringe.
4. Using the position controls, move the dispensing head to the front of the dispensing area
and lower it as much as possible.
The needle and height sensor probe should not touch the substrate.
5. Turn OFF (0) the main power circuit breaker.
6. Locate the X-axis bearing housing (Figure 4-6).
7. Locate the dust caps at the front/rear of each bearing housing. Using a small screwdriver,
carefully remove the caps, exposing the grease port.
8. Insert the tip of the syringe into the grease port and pump the syringe once or twice to inject
an ample amount of grease into the housing.
The housing is full when grease comes out of the ends.
9. Spread the excess grease along the length of the X-axis linear guides.
10. Repeat Steps 6 to 9 for the Y- and Z-axis linear guides.
11. When finished, replace the axis covers and tighten the screws.
