Slop or play in either the X or Y axis will usually result in cut items which do not close fully and are therefore difficult to remove from the sheet. Check out the following features of both axes.

Check the following:-

• That all pulleys are firmly fixed to their shafts / motors, with the grub screws. Apply a little locking fluid to the threads before re-tightening. Ensure the grub screw engages the flat on the shaft/s.
• That the belts have no teeth missing or damaged.
• That all belts are adequately tensioned. (Do not over tension the belts)
• That the X-axis gearbox and half shaft couplers are secure.
• That the arm is re-set square using the flexible drive couplers if you have adjusted the mechanism in any way.
• Adjustment of the above may require beam re-alignment
• That the drawn item is fully closed
