5. Trouble Information
■ If conditions arise that affect the functioning of the scale,
such as overrun, damage to the cable, deformation of
the scale unit, etc., repairs are necessary.
• Immediately stop the machine and contact Sony
Precision Technology or the dealer from whom the unit
was purchased.
■ The scale unit may not be repairable, depending on the
extent of the damage.
Regular cleaning is recommended in order to prevent
these types of trouble beforehand.
• Clean away any cutting scraps at the start and finish of
work each day to prevent cutting scraps from
accumulating around the scale.
• Accumulated cutting scraps may impede the sliding
motion of the scale and result in malfunction.
• Avoid using an air gun or similar device to clean away
the cutting scraps. Although the running portions of
the scale unit are sealed, the scale unit does not have
a completely sealed structure. If an air gun or similar
device is used, cutting scraps and other objects may
enter the sealed portions of the scale and result in
malfunction.
