Toolhead

Toolhead A Axis Mounting
The Toolhead travels on its A axis using fixed bearings that ride on a grooved plate. In some
cases, the A axis Mount Plate may have excessive play. The A Axis bearings may fall out of
spec over time resulting in side-to-side play in the toolhead. Typically, the Operator can adjust
the bearings to bring them back into spec. This can be achieved in one of two ways:
Method 1
After removing the Toolhead, loosen
the bearing stanchions and insert a
small piece of shim stock underneath
the stanchion, placing the shim on
the outside edge.
Method 2
The Operator can carefully bend
the bearing stanchions inward a
slight amount to eliminate play. Care
must be taken not to damage the
bearing assembly as the assembly is
aluminum and can break easily.
