Shake your Bot

[rcnewcomb]

Recently after starting up the machine I decided to give each of the axis a shake to ensure they were firm. The Y and Z were solid but the X had some play. It turned out that the allen screws on the pinion gears were a bit loose. We tightened them up and the machine cut beautifully.

Shake your Bot!

Shake, Shake, Shake..
Shake, Shake, Shake..
Shake your Bot-ty
Shake your Bot-ty

(Wasn't that a song by KC and the Sunshine Band?)

That is pretty much standard regular maintenance.

So would the person doing the shaking be a Disco-Tech? :o

Happy New Year.
