    Z Travel limits changing

    Hello,

    I'm currently running a B&S Status 09.12.08 with PC-DMIS 2018 R1
    When I initially start my machine in the mornings I don't have full travel of my Z axis, about 3 inches short. I shut it down and start it back up and that usually fixes the issue. I am wondering what could be the root cause?

    Thank you.

      Haha nice visual.
      I cleaned the scales along with the ways and that fixed the issue. A clean CMM is a happy CMM.

    +1 probably dirty scale. Be really careful cleaning the scales. If you scratch them they might need to be replaced(Its very expensive), make sure to use a lint free cloth.
