Then do you have any sort of axis problems? Ours is awful, Y-Axis gives us all kinds of headaches. What about yours?

What kind of problems? Elaborate?

scanning head loosing position on quick feed, mostly from right to left, Trumpf will come in and fix the problem, usually by replacing the ''ruler'' and recalibrating the scanning head (Lida). I am seriously thinking about buying that Heidenhain tool because our waranty is running out and Trumpf's delays to come here and fix it is like 5 days of downtime. We've had this machine for a year and a half now and downtimes accounts for 35% of total hours. We also had to replace the chiller (not Trumpf's fault I suppose...) and had many problems with the X-Axis (gantry parallelism)

Is this the new, high speed version or the older one? I operate a 6030 and have never had any problems with the axes.

Normally you would not have this problem too much on the y axis.

The encoder strips needs to be clean - use reagent alcohol to clean them with a soft lint free cloth.
Also the encoder and the reader have to be in real accurate position.

Make sure the suction from the exhaust is strong. Hopefully you are not cutting non metallic items on this machine.

As i remember the x axis seldom give problems except it is not set up properly and the backlash is too much.
