Accura 2 -Y- Drive noise

[[Er...]]

I have a two week old Accura 2. The -Y- Drive is extremely noisy when moving in the -Y- plus direction only. (very loud clicking noise) when moving in the -Y- minus its very quit. The service tech who set it up said its normal for the accura 2. Has anyone had this issue?

Yes, I am also told that a "noisy" Y-Drive is common. We had ours replaced (under warranty) and it is *much* better. I can't recall if the original Y-Drive made Clicking noises or not... but it was really noisy.
I'm also believe that I was told that there is a retrofit that is available, that is quieter. But, If you purchased your machine through Zeiss, you may be able to get a better response (free replacement, or price break on retrofit) from your Zeiss sales rep... at this point, Zeiss should be explaining the potential noise issues prior to purchase.

Good luck,

Thanks for the reply. Its kinda weird when its moving in the -Y- minus its quite, and -Y- plus it real noise.

My Accura 2 is very loud.

Escpecially in the Y, there is a constant sound from the motor that is similiar to the cables moving around.
The tech thought its the cables untill I told him to disassemble the covers and listen himself.

Accura 1 sounds much better imo.

I don't have the best hearing in the world but, my Accura 2 doesn't make any noise I wouldn't expect. A humming noise while running at full 460 speed, no clicking.
