Lubricating the X-Axis
(For Dual-Action and C-708 AICE with Thomson Carriage Installed)
Lubricating the X-Axis on a monthly basis will ensure smooth dispense head movement and
prolong bearing life. The tools needed to perform this procedure are included in the Asymtek
SK-LUBE Kit, which is supplied with your dispensing system. Use the grease gun included
in the Asymtek Kit to perform the following procedure:
To lubricate the X-Axis:
1. Load the grease cartridge into the grease gun.
2. Pull back on the handle (located at the bottom of the grease gun cylinder) until the
locking tabs are visible.
3. Twist the lock into position.
4. Unscrew and remove the top of the grease gun.
5. Remove the blue cap from the grease cartridge and place (open end down) into the
gun cylinder.
6. Remove the seal from the bottom of the grease cartridge by pulling the tab.
7. Replace the top of the grease gun.
8. Screw the extension into the front side at the top of the grease gun.
9. Release the handle from the locked position.
10. Purge the air from the grease gun cartridge by dispensing grease until a solid stream
flows from the gun.
11. Move the dispense head to the front of the system using the motion control arrows
on the Control Panel (see Figure 3-3 or Figure 3-4).
12. While making sure that the dispensing needle and Height Sensor probe do not crash
down onto the substrate, lower the dispensing head as low as possible.
13. Press the Main Power Switch to OFF ( ).
14. Open the front doors.
15. Locate the small access hole on the front of the X-Axis bearing housing
(see Figure 7-1).
It is located in the center of the housing along the shaft.
16. Put the tip of the grease gun against the access hole.
