    R2E3 z axis travels

    Hi

    Seems as though my Z axis is not travelling all the way down for some reason. it gets about 1" from the end of it's travel and not near the switch but axis gets a overload and kicks out. tried turning axis down but it seems like its catching up on something. Anyone else have a issue?


    Maybe some chips in top of ball screw?


    Doug
