X axis ballscrew seized up mid run on a hot job in Tulsa
Was cutting 304 stainless last Tuesday at the shop in Tulsa and about 40 parts into a 120 piece run the X axis started squawking, then it just locked up on me. Turned out the ballscrew nut had lost its lube and chewed itself up, so I stopped the spindle, flagged the supervisor and we tore the covers off right there. Waiting on the new nut to show up Thursday. Has anyone dealt with a dry nut like this before, and did you swap the whole screw or just the nut?
