Crossfire Pro Assembly Question - Solved

Hi Guys,

I have question about the assembly of CrossFire Pro. The x-axis lead screw looks to be bowed and when I jog the gantry at 300 ipm down the positive a axis it binds and stalls roughly 6 inches from the end. The lead screw appears to be at an angle that would not let it continue to move. To me the x-axis lead screw bearing mount looks like it is not correct. My table came with 3 lead screw bearing mounts. 2 of the lead screw bearing mounts are 1 7/8” tall and 1 of the lead screw bearing mounts is 2 1/8” tall. I have the lead screw bearing mount that is 2 1/8” tall installed on the x-axis gantry tube. Is this correct?

Thanks guys for any help you can provide.

The bearing mount with 2 screw holes is for the x axis

@mikep93 welcome to the forum

The longer mount goes on the Y axis. It seems you may have received 2 X mounts and one Y mount.

All three bearing mounts I received have 2 holes for mounting to the x or y gantries. I read in another post on the forum that I should have 2 bearing mounts of equal dimension, and one that is slightly smaller. The slightly smaller bearing mount is supposed to attach to the x-axis according the post. I received 2 small bearing mounts and 1 bearing mount that is bigger. I assumed this single bearing mount would affix to the x-axis gantry because their is only one. Being new to this I am trying to figure out if I have the right parts and then have them installed on the correct gantry.

Contact Langmuir support. They are usually pretty good about sending out the correct parts.

Make sure your motor mounts are correct, also.

Hey Everyone,

Just wanted to say thanks for the advice. Once I contacted Langmuir, they sent a new mount out and got it installed and all the gantries are moving as they should be. Really appreciate everyone who helped me out and Langmuir for great support.
