Hi,
I have recently ran into trouble with my cnc machine, it wouldn’t move on the axis anymore so I had to open it and fix it, I took care of that problem but when putting it back together I saw a spring on the rod that it travels on for the axis. I was confused on what the purpose of that spring was and just wanted to know if anyone can help me understand it. I have taken two pictures to show the area I am talking about.
Thank you
