We believe that the Z-Axis position encoder on our Interact 720 is defective. (Z-Axis measuring system defective A) This encoder is at the bottom of the Z-Axis screw.
We're trying to remove the covers over the encoder, and cannot figure out how to remove them.
There appear to be some hidden screws at the tops of the brass slide guides which we cannot access. They're behind the spindle head even when the head is raised to the Z+ limit.
Is there any easy way to remove these slide covers to gain access to the encoder?
We'd prefer a non-destructive procedure
