Iāve seen this before. I know exactly what that is.
Demonic possession. Common problem with a Chinese system.
In all seriousness, thatās likely going to be a complicated problem. Quite possibly a combination of problems. To help diagnose, Iād suggest running the test a few more times in each direction. Is the problem reasonably repeatable and is it the same in both directions? Have you tried it faster or slower?
If you grab the head and push/pull it along the x axis is it tight? Can you put your hands on the moving components while the machine is moving (donāt loose a finger, belts are fān dangerous!) and feel if anything is grinding? Have you confirmed that your bed/test piece/x axis way are reasonably straight? Are you positive that thereās no calibration file (either present or missing) to help with something like this? CMMās need a calibration file. Have you checked your belt tension?
