ZX Carriage
The ZX Carriage travels along the X-rail parallel to the front of the machine. The
carriage is an aluminum casting that is both structurally light and stiff. The
carriage houses nine (9) air bearings which provide virtually frictionless move-
ment and support in the X direction.
The ZX Carriage also contains eight
(8) air bearings that support the
Z-rail. The X-axis encoder and the
Z-axis encoder are located under
removable covers at the back of the
machine. Removing these covers
provides access to the Z-axis scale.
Cable mounts are located at the rear
of the carriage and elastomeric
bumpers on each end act as stops
against the legs in the X direction.
A large knurled knob at the bottom of the carriage is used for the precise
adjustment of the Z-rail.
