During repair of X axis cables on an old Mazak laser (96" x travel), I noticed there is a bit of play between the x axis motor and the ball screw. They are attached by a coupling that appears to have some type of soft plate in the middle, and the 4 locking nuts and bolts holding this coupling together are all about one turn loose, leaving the coupling with a bit of slop. Should I snug them up, or leave them a bit loose like they are? Thanks.  |
