I'm trying to solve a slop/excess clearance in the V axis on my machine. I was having problems aligning the wire and discovered this issue. There is enough slop that you can actually hear it when loading it by hand. I traced it down to the V axis slide, which moves a few thou when rocked by hand. I checked the U axis structure a detected very little movement. I need to try and adjust the excess clearance out, but am having a little trouble getting it to cooperate, I posted a few pics and am hoping to get some input as to how to proceed.
What I have done so far.
* Loosen 2 hold down bolts on the adjustment side of the V axis slide.
* Slightly turn in the adjustment set screws while monitoring the slop. Doesn't appear to do anything.
Thank you,
Roger
