B400 B500
DIE150EN - 15.08.2022

Preface
General notes
The maintenance activities described in this document essentially pertain only to the
machine. Maintenance activities of auxiliary units (e.g., bar loading magazines,
extraction systems) are described in the documentation of the specific manufacturer.
The maintenance and servicing activities must absolutely be observed. Failure to
conduct maintenance and servicing in accordance with these instructions
(especially not at the respective intervals) rules out any claims for damages. This
does not apply if it is proved that the non-compliance with the maintenance and
servicing activities is unrelated to the defect. Normal wear and tear, especially of
components such as bearings and seals, is not a defect. These components are
therefore excluded from the warranty. It is recommended to keep a written log of all
maintenance activities carried out.
Maintenance intervals
The maintenance intervals are given based on the operating hours
counter / “Hydraulic system On” operating condition.
Maintenance intervals displayed on the controller (iXpanel)
Depending on the respective machine type and the different
controller types, a corresponding message is issued on the controller
when a maintenance interval is reached. The maintenance
instructions stored on the respective controller provide information
(maintenance log) explaining the service and maintenance activities
to be performed.
Cleaning of the machine
Do not clean the machine with compressed air
- Raised dirt particles may cause breathing difficulty or injury
(especially of the sensory organs). Furthermore, raised dirt
particles or chips may reach spots where they cause technical
problems.
Do not use cotton waste for cleaning
- When cleaning with cotton waste, fibers or thread can get loose
causing safety problems.
Solvents
- Do not use highly volatile solvents such as petroleum spirit,
trichloroethylene or similar cleaning agents. These cleaners may
damage the seals, which can lead to safety problems.
Pressure washers
- Do not clean the machine with a pressure washer. Cleaning with
a pressure washer results in strong corrosion. Furthermore,
bearings may be degreased and seals may become leaking,
which can lead to safety problems.

Always specify the machine type and machine number when ordering
spare parts. This and other information about the machine are
located on the nameplate under the main switch of the control
cabinet.
Operating material
For all work in connection with operating materials, the information in
the data sheets of the respective manufacturers and the information
in the document Notes on Operating Materials.

Preface
2Maintenance Instructions
B400 B500
DIE150EN - 15.08.2022

Carrying out maintenance work
Authorized and trained personnel
- Maintenance is to be performed only by authorized and trained
personnel. This applies particularly to work on motors (spindle
motors) or other electrical assemblies. The instructions in the
respective manufacturer documentation must be followed for
such work.
Allow the machine to cool down
- Prior to working on the machine, it must be allowed to cool
down, as hot parts may be located under the covers.
Maintenance work on machine being switched off
- In general, maintenance is to be carried out with the machine
switched off. The main switch must be locked out. Even when
the main switch is switched off, parts of the machine (e.g., the
control cabinet light) may still carry electricity. These parts are
labeled. In a few cases, maintenance work needs to be
performed with the machine turned on (e.g., replacement of
backup batteries). These maintenance activities must be carried
out with special care.
Required tools
- For removing machine parts, suitable lifting gears and a variety
of tools must be used. Removed machine parts must be placed
in a safe position and secured against falling over.
- All maintenance work on the machine must be carried out with
utmost care. Fasteners must be loosened carefully and parts
must be secured against falling down. When elastic items
(springs) are removed/replaced, appropriate devices must be
used. Any (non-horizontal) axes that pose a risk of falling down
must be moved to their end positions or secured against falling
down. Pedal switches must be put aside to avoid inadvertent
actuation.
Performing maintenance, repair or service work
- The currently valid safety regulations, as well as the specific
manufacturer’s information for the intended use must be
observed for these activities.
Use of climbing aids (ladders or steps)
- In addition, appropriate climbing aids may be required to carry
out these activities. When working on climbing aids at great
heights, e.g. on the control cabinet, these must always be
secured or fastened (depending on the machine, eyelets are
also provided for this purpose).

Maintenance Instructions
B400 B500
DIE150EN - 15.08.2022

Procurement/use of spare parts
We recommend the use of original spare parts and accessories. For
damages caused by the use of parts from third-party providers,
liability and warranty are excluded. The use of such products may
change the structural characteristics of the machine and negatively
affect the active or passive safety.
Cellular and cordless phones
When the control cabinet is open or the machine covers are open or
removed, no cellular or cordless phones may be used within a 2 m
radius.
Handling hydraulic and hose lines
Damaged hydraulic hose lines must be replaced immediately. Typical
types of damage include chafing, kinks, cracks, deformations, or
visible leaks.
Flexible, pressurized hydraulic hose lines of INDEX equipment are
generally designed as thermoplastics or metallic hydraulic hose lines.
The machine operator/owner is responsible for compliance with the
laws and regulations of the country of use with regard to the use of
hydraulic hoses.
We recommend inspection and documentation of the hydraulic hose
lines installed inside the machine and not directly visible every 12
months. For hydraulic hose lines visible in the work area or mounted
outside the machine and connecting components to the machine, we
recommend inspection and documentation every 6 months.
For the flexible, pressurized hydraulic hose lines used by INDEX ,
empirical values are available for very different periods of use, some
of which exceed 10 years.
Maintenance work on fluid systems (hydraulic, lubrication, and
pneumatic systems)
When carrying out maintenance work on fluid systems (hydraulic,
lubrication, and pneumatic systems), make sure before starting the
work that the respective system has been depressurized
(accumulator drain valve / manual slide valve).
Dry run or functional test
After all maintenance work and work on electrical assemblies, a dry
run or functional test must be performed.

DIE150EN - 15.08.2022

A010 - Check the work area door and window pane
Orientation
Inspection and maintenance of the work area door includes several steps:
- Inspection of the window pane for damage.
- Checking the safety label on the window pane (replacement interval 8 years).
- Checking/adjusting or replacing, if necessary, the wipers.
- Check the work area door for smooth opening/closing.
- Automatic work area door (optional). Hydraulic valves and motor, control panel,
rack and spur gear. (for hydraulic door drive)
- Automatic work area door (optional – electric door drive – follow the
manufacturer’s documentation).
The window pane consists of three panes. The inner pane made of tempered glass,
the central pane made of polycarbonate, and the outer pane also made of
polycarbonate. The inner pane is relatively resistant. It can be cleaned with any
commercially available cleaning agents. Only the center pane is essential for the
impact resistance of the window pane.
The polycarbonate panes are subject to natural aging and therefore must be
subjected to regular visual inspection. Through contact with cooling lubricant, the
aging process is accelerated even further
If the window pane is damaged, it must be replaced. This is
necessary regardless of the extent of damage. Even with minimal
damage, the impact resistance of the pane can no longer be
guaranteed.
Heavily soiled or damaged wipers may cause damage to the inner pane. Moreover,
it may be possible that the work area door can be moved only with considerable
effort due to heavy soiling or chip deposits in the wipers.
Check the guide rails of the work area door. The guide bars must be checked and
cleaned regularly so that the work area door can be moved without much effort.
Procedure
1. Check window pane for damage.
2. Clean the outer pane with a soft cloth or sponge and glass
cleaner or soap and water. Do not use abrasive or alkaline
cleaners (e.g., benzene, acetone or carbon tetrachloride) and no
sharp tools or sharp objects (such as razor blades or
screwdrivers).
Clean outer pane.
3. Clean inner pane.
4. Check wipers. Remove and clean the wipers. If the wipers are severely
deformed or damaged, they must be replaced. To clean the door panels evenly,
be sure to reinstall the wipers after their removal aligned in parallel and ensure
that they snugly contact the work area door.
