    Fadal 5th Axis Drift Problem

    I am running a Fadal 6030 w/ 4th and 5th axis. I recently crashed the sheet metal panel that surrounds the z axis into the turn-table; no damage to the machine except to the panel. The crash also forced the tilt to move several inches up. I noticed nothing wrong with the axis immediately following, so I thought nothing of it. The next time I used the machine I had to remove the 4th/5th axis to make room for a larger part. Done with the parts I returned the 4th/5th axis. About an hour or so after setting the CS I returned to find the axis tilted. When i try to move it back the axis moves correctly but does not stop but instead keeps drifting. Any ideas?

    If it is a Fadal Rt, the B axis (5th) scale may need to be reajusted to the cold start position
