Adherence of regular maintenance intervals for your microfocus X-ray system, a maintenance works by qualified personnel ensures a higher availability and a longer lifetime of your system and its single components.
Run the Startup procedure once a day up to the desired high voltage. Turn your system into standby instead of switching it off completely. This reduces contamination in the tube and speeds up rebooting.
In addition, it is important to adhere to the recommended maintenance intervals, for example:
Every 2 weeks:
Rotation of the target by 5 degrees
Every 3 months:
Cleaning the high voltage socket and greasing the connectors
Checking of the coolant level and, if necessary, refill of coolant
Annually:
Replacement of all O-ring sealings
Cleaning of vacuum gauges (IKR), cathode chamber, grid base, and grid cap
Tools, spare parts, and appropriate lubricants are included in the spare parts case delivered with each tube. Missing components can be reordered from our service department. Detailed maintenance instructions, circuit diagrams, information on the X-COM software and the vacuum components can be found on the documentation CD in the spare parts case.
If you have any questions, please contact our service department.
In order to gain a comprehensive insight into the maintenance and diagnostics of X-ray systems, we recommend to participate in our Microfocus Training Week.
Alternatively you may sign a maintenance contract and transfer the regular maintenance and care of your X-ray system to one of our service partners or to X-RAY WorX
(Different intense utilization of the tube, the maintenance intervals might be different)
