CMM won't home

Not about beer or guns, sorry.
We moved our CMM up the road. Now it won't home. We can jog it in Z, no problem entire range. Y, just about an inch before erroring out says position error Y axis. Nothing at all in X.
Cleaned scales. Moved by hand away from home, and all over.
Air is plentiful, but new/different location. Machine needs 90psi, we tried at 90 and up to 115. Back to 90 now. Speaking of new air we also added a receiver tank. We are currently looking at bypassing that, but want to get a start on other suggestions from you guys maybe.

  • if:
    you have air & the system is set up correctly
    its all plugged in correctly
    you have stable source of power
    you don't have any crazy environmental factors (dust, oily air, stamping machines that produce a lot of vibration into the floor)

    and it still doesn't work...

    hate to say this but whomever moved it most likely damaged the machine. it doesn't take much to have that happen. $$$ervice call time

    two years ago, i watched as professional riggers accidentally dropped an M&M Gear Checking CMM from a height of 2inches & the machine needed $25K worth of work & then a re-calibration
