x axis set up

Odd problem on my x axis set up

The range of the x axis travel does not seem to be central to the machine

Homing the x axis allows the z axis mounting bracket to collide with one of the nuts on the right hand gantry plate when moving down in the z axis,

The centre of the machine is about 5 mm out from the centre of the cutting area ( 275mm on the 1000 * 750 machine)

This image shows the x axis homed, you can see that when the z axis is lowered it collides with the nut on the wheel assembly, the distance between the z c-beam and the y plate is about 7 mm

Block Image

this image shows the x axis at machine position x0 y 0, here the distance between the z c-beam and the y plate is about 17 mm

Block Image

This picture shows the x axis limit switch correctly fitted -as far as I know

Block Image

A solution would appear to be to move the limit switch about 5mm away from the y plate but I suspect that there is something in one of the config files that allows the “Bounce” amount after hitting the limit switch to be adjusted.

Anyone have any ideas?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Hi Pete,

If you move the X-Axis Limit switch inwards and double-check it does not collide at position X0. Then you should not need to make any changes to the config files.
