Shuttle Maintenance Schedule

Periodic preventive maintenance of the shuttle mechanism is recommended to insure continued, trouble free operation of your Xandex pneumatic inking system. The recommended maintenance schedule is as follows:

• Off-line use = 6 month intervals
• In-Line / Post Probe use = Once per year

Xandex recommends the use of shuttle preventive maintenance kits which include all parts necessary for one normal shuttle maintenance procedure. These kits may be ordered directly from Xandex or through your local Authorized Xandex Distributor. To determine which kit to order, consult the following tables:

Traditional Shuttle

New Precision Shuttle

Xandex redesigned the pneumatic shuttle used on most DieMark inkers in 2022 as part of a project to develop the new X7110 & X7120 Micro-Z Small Dot Inking Systems. Due to design improvements in the Precision Shuttle, maintenance has been dramatically simplified compared to the steps required for Traditional Shuttle Maintenance. Please review the 820-0330 Precision Shuttle Manitenance Instruction for more detailed information. Available Precision Shuttle preventive maintenance kits are listed by inker model in the table below.

Shuttle retrofit kits are available to retrofit most DieMark pneumatic inkers with the new precision shuttle. For more information see the Precision Shuttle Retrofit Kits web page.
