SuperBOT Maintenance

SuperBOT Maintenance Guide

Xeltek has been providing automated programming solutions since 2007 and currently offers several SuperBOT models, including SuperBOT 2, 4, 5a, 5e, 5X, 5Xe, and 6. With minimal maintenance requirements, SuperBOT is a proven workhorse that is often operated 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in many manufacturing facilities.

Technical support is available from Xeltek USA between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM PST, and from Xeltek Nanjing, China between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM local time, which is approximately 5:00 PM to 1:00 AM PST. With support from both facilities, customers receive up to 17 hours of continuous worldwide technical support coverage.

For faster service and reduced downtime, we recommend keeping optional spare parts on hand, such as additional socket adapters, vacuum pickup cups, gas springs, belts, and air filters.

Routine Maintenance

1. Clean any foreign material attached to the lead screw, sliding rail, and working bench using pressurized air.
2. Confirm that all mechanical movements and input/output functions are operating normally before running the machine.
3. Check for abnormal noise during operation. If abnormal noise is detected, shut down the machine immediately and notify maintenance personnel before resuming operation.
4. Clean the internal and external parts of the working bench, including all exposed surfaces.

Periodic Maintenance

It is recommended to perform periodic maintenance every 1 to 2 months. Main periodic maintenance items include:

1. Maintenance of Air Pressure Loop
   1. Check for air leakage in the air pressure loop. Clean the air supply and adjust the air pressure as needed.
   2. Check the air pressure regulation valve and confirm the correct pressure setting of 0.5 MPa.
   3. Check the pressure switch and confirm that the alarm pressure is set to 0.5 MPa.
   4. Clean the filtering sponge of the vacuum generator and replace it when necessary.
   5. Check the movement of the Z-axis cylinder and nozzle, and clean the nozzle with air.
2. Maintenance of Transmission Mechanism
   1. Grease the linear sliding rails on the X, Y, and Z axes, as well as the ball screw.
   2. Check the transmission belts of the servo motors on the X, Y, and Z axes for looseness, wear, or damage.
   3. Confirm motor positioning and belt balance.
   4. Check and confirm the fastening status of all screws on the working bench and inside the distribution box.
3. Maintenance of IC Placement and Pickup Device
   1. Check the accuracy of the X and Y axes by testing servo motor positioning.
   2. Repeat operation tests to confirm consistency at each coordinate point.
   3. Perform programming system function checks.
   4. Perform device function tests.
   5. Check for loose connectors.
