Chapter 5
Maintaining Your APS3
This chapter discusses the following:
• Annual factory calibration and battery replacement
• Battery use and disposal
Warning
The edges of the APS3 devices are thin. It may be possible to sustain injury from these edges if
the APS3 device is not handled with proper care.
Protection afforded by compliance EN61010-1 (2010) may be impaired if the equipment is not
used as specified.
Caution
Use extreme care to assure that the device has proper clearances when being transported
through the tool. For example, when you use the device in the tool for the first time, move the
device through the tool in manual mode, visually verifying all clearances. Even when clearances
are sufficient for safe APS3 pass-through, if the robot end-effector is taught too high, you risk
crashing and damaging the APS3 device.
Periodic calibration and battery replacement is the only regular maintenance your APS3 device
requires:
Annual Calibration and Battery Replacement.
Once a year, you should have your APS3 device calibrated and the internal rechargeable battery
replaced by returning the APS3 to the CyberOptics factory.
Cleaning the APS3 Device.
If cleaning is required, wipe the outside of the APS3 device with IPA (isopropyl alcohol). If the
APS3 device is used in a clean environment, follow proper procedures for this environment.
