A frozen axis is one that will not move for some reason.
Scenario
- Axis will not move via interface and cannot be moved manually.
- Receives "M-x Position error, no power to controller. Re-enable controller?", circular error
- Can jog other axes
- Customer is probably cutting wood or another material where a lot of debris is generated.
Problem
- The ball nut is probably jammed-up with debris.
Solution
- WD-40
- Hit "E-Stop" and POWER DOWN machine
- Thread straw from WD-40 can into groove of ball screw and into the ball nut and blow it out with copious amounts of WD-40.
