Yesterday while running my CMM the alignment must have been messed up. Unfortunately, my machine ran the z axis pole (not sure what its called I'm fairly new to CMMs) into a gage clamp. It made a weird noise and faulted out for 'x axis excess lag error'. Ever since then I can move my machine in the y and z directions but it will not move in the x and I get that error everytime. Not sure if I completely just broke my machine or if an air line or something stupid came loose. Please help.
Update
After further observation I took the cover off the X axis motor and a blue wire came loose from the motor. I touched the wire to the connection and it started working with no error. I believe I have solved the problem and our maintenance team is working on fixing it right now. If anyone has any input please put it in the comments.
