X axis motion verification Procedure. 41. Home machine, make a marks on the top of the X axis rail, ofthe End Truck’s position, this is creating the zero test point. Go to display and select manual mode. Select “MDI” move. Enter 24”, press cycle start. Machine will travel 24”, Create a chart of display measurement, X master and X slave. Enter 24” in display column. Measure the distance from previous marks to End Truck, enter value for master and slave. Go to MDI and enter -24”. This will return to original position, verify that machine comes back to original marks. 2. Go to MDI mode, enter 36” and press start. Add these measurements to chart. Display distance 36”, measure both X drives and enter value. Enter -36”, press cycle start, return to marks, zero point. 3, Keep traveling 12” increments, add display values to chart, and add measurements of both X axis. Continue moving and measuring, and adding to chart. More measurements the better. Display Xaxis Xa axis 2” Measure Measure distance distance 24" Measure Measure distance distance 4, Ifat some move, the distances change dramatically, or the measurements on End Truck change, focus on the Gear rack, inspect for possible damaged tooth. if the measurements slowly increase linearly as machine travels in Plus direction, then there might be corrupted encoder counts.
