Horizontal CMM Experience? Looking for info...

Anyone have experience running a horizontal CMM?

We have a customer that's run one of our fixtures and it checked good here and at 3rd party, but they're getting a bunch of Z axis points out.

I know their machine hasn't been calibrated in 5 years, but are there any horizontal CMM quirks that cause sagging in the Z or anything? I know nothing about horizontal setups... The deviation is around .15 in the center and around .35 down the X.... again, only points primarily with a Z approach.

Thanks for the insight.... I'm confused :/
