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.
Remove the right cover (if it's a Global), and check if the belt is at the right place, and turn the wheel. If it turns with the power on, check the wiring on the motor and in the controller.
Cover off from the move. The belt is right there in my face. It is with my thumb, on that belt wrapped around the wheel, that I push the wheel with my thumb to make X move. Of course, I can also grab the whole Z rail and drag it along that way as well... I'll post a pic in a new reply below ...
