Hi guys,
I've just run a high speed test program for the first time, - the Y axis screw was toast. sounded like rocks in a blender. not good.
Anyway I've just fitted a new one (machine came with spares). I'm pretty sure i've got it lined up, but who knows...
The new ballnut has what looks like a preload adjustment?
Just want to check that this does not need touching by me, the clamping bolt for the nut has a plastic cap fitted and the bolt it loctited in already,guessing its factory set.
There's a "-2" hand engraved on the nut as well, this obviously means something.
Also - any tips / techniques for alignment would be appreciated.
cheers
