Hi,
I have a really strange axis problem that started on X-axis head1.
The parts did start to get smaller and smaller but if I reboot machine it was back to normal size.
I switched the drives that controls both X & Z between head 1 and head 2, the problem remained on head 1.
I switched X-axis ballscreew-encoders between head 1 and head 2 and problem did go away and have not come back in a year.
Now the same thing started on Z-axis on head 1.
After program finished it stops on Z5.000 (mm) on the display everytime but after a few cycles part is getting shorter and shorter, if I restart machine display says a lower number like 3.842 and I can run it again and part is getting the correct length.
In my head the cant be a mechanicle problem since it helps to restart machine.
Both X and Z-axis on head 1 has really bad ballscrew support bearings that is screeming can these vibrations disturb the encoder in some way?
I have the bearings so I will replace them today anyway :)
