Z axis brake
Posted: Thu 31 Oct , 2013 3:14 am
We are having trouble with what I have been told is a brake on the top of the z axis motor.
As the machine moves on the z-axis it would seam the brake is engaging and stopping the travel.
The unit runs very hot. Too hot to touch for more than 3 seconds.
There also seams to be 4 cracks in a disk inside the top unit.
Am I right?
If so what does this do?
Thanks
