Thread: Z Truck/Flex Shaft Hitting Machine Cover- Help

  1. Exclamation Z Truck/Flex Shaft Hitting Machine Cover- Help

    Brand new machine shipped directly from CW.

    The Z truck is tucked 3/16" under the machine cover causing the flex shaft to hit the edge of the cover slot. I've seen photos of others and this seems to be out of the ordinary. Any ideas about making an adjustment to get the truck positioned in the center of the slot?

    Is it just me or is the slot in the cover on an angle to the z truck rail?

    Does the head crank up and down ok?

    Take a look at the rollers on the z truck and y carriage. If they are not tightened correctly, the truck could be tilted forward at the top. Make sure the rollers are all bolted square.

    The head cover seems to be aligned from end to end based on the y axis tests and the head cranks up and down just fine.

  8. Default Z Truck/Flex Shaft Hitting Machine Cover- Help

    If the truck assembly was screwed down any tighter, it would hit the circular piece on the z track.

    I have a machine with the same issue, the front of the slot towards the lid is weak and actually twists toward the flexshaft, I have no idea how to fix this either. I have thought about getting the dremel out and cutting it but the machine seems to run ok so far with no ill effect. None of my other machines have this issue

    Was it that way fresh out of the box from the CW?
