Regular maintenance work and cleaning
For components in which the tests reveal wear or even malfunctions, repairs or component replacement must be carried out by competent specialist companies and persons (electrical engineers).
Components | Test | Interval |
Pneumatic components | Visual inspection for corrosion, damage and correct fastening Pressure and leakage test | At least annually and before each commissioning process |
Electrical components | Visual inspection for corrosion, damage and correct fastening Functional test | At least annually and before each commissioning process |
Earthing | Visual inspection for damage and correct fastening Continuity test with grounding resistance report (VDE 701) | At least annually |
Emergency stop | Functional test | At least annually |
The controller should be cleaned on a regular basis. Heavy soiling can lead to malfunctions.
