1) Use the recommended grease nipple, A-M6X1(JIS B1575).
2) Turn the controller power OFF.
When the ZF unit is attached for the 3rd-axis, the replenishment work can be
carried out easier by moving the Z-axis slider to near the motor (near the origin) and
turning the controller power OFF.
3) Place a sign indicating "Work In Progress" so that other operators do not turn the
controller power ON.
4) Remove the stroke cover of the axis to which grease is to be replenished. (Refer to
section "1. Installation" for details on removing the X-axis cover.)
5) Install the grease nipple onto the ball screw flange.
6) Using a grease gun, replenish grease from the grease nipple.
Sufficient grease has been replenished when new grease starts to seep out from the
clearance between the ball screw nut and screw. Wipe off any excessive grease.
