Hello,
1.
I am working on Deckel FP5NC (Dialog 4) and I noticed the machine is leaving a mark when doing a circle/arc. The mark is on both sides of the circle along the X-plane. I tried entering the circle on Y-plane but the mark is still there.
The mark is about >0.01mm in size.
I'm assuming a gap developed on the ball screw nut. Does anybody know if there is a way to test this?
For now, I'm leaving aside the control, linear encoder, motors, etc. But this could be the reason too?
2.
My CRT monitor is having a hard time staying awake. When the machine is powered up in the morning it works for ~2h then it shuts down for a few minutes and powers up again, the loop continues randomly. I noticed this was connected to heat but removing the cover didn't fix the problem.
So, a few posts suggested buying an external monitor or retrofitting the CRT with TFT or LCD. Before buying anything is there a way to test if the CRT is really the problem or is the problem somewhere else?
External monitor:

There is a BNC connector at the bottom of the Dialog4? I can't found it. The only connectors I have are RS-232 and an audio jack 5.3mm (maybe 5.34mm). Does anyone have more information about this?
Best regards
Domen
