CNC-STEP High-Z S-1000/T X axis noise following a crash

[mikelake]

Solved!

Thanks to Philip at Prototools for a procedure to solve the problem.

1) Rapid move the X axis until close to (but not touching) the motor mounts. (The opposite end to the home location.)

2) Slow jog until one of the stepper motors stalls (it "clicks").

3) Continue jogging until the second motor stalls.

In my case, the far stepper stalled while the linear bearing on the near side was about half and inch from the mount. I continued the jog until the near motor also stalled.

Result? Silky smooth movement returned! Happiness all round!

Thank you Philip!
