Help!! and not just with why I am running my cmm at 3 am on a saturday morning.
Anyhoo, my machine has taken to giving me a bit of a vibration when moving in the machines positive direction in the y axis. I have cleaned, recleaned, then cleaned one more time for good measure, my table and air bearings as best I can when just applying alcohol to the table and driving around, and scrubbing the table with lint free cloth.
The tech that came in to set our cmm up, said as a good way to check the bearings, put a little alcohol on the table and drive thru it. I did that and it left no streaks, like he said should be the case. However, on the x minus side of the tower(operator side), I see a lot more bubbles coming out around the puck then I do one the x pos side. Is this an indication of a blockage?
I have great air, with my own dedicated compressor and enough filtration to clean my air, two coallescing filters, two water traps, and the filter regulator that came on the machine.
The vibration is only when traveling in the y pos direction.
As always, thank you for your help, oh and don't try telling me you are all home for the weekend
