Machine is loud when moving

[[Re...]]

Ok, so I have been using my Zeiss for over a year now and all of a sudden, the machine has become super loud when moving in every direction. almost like it needs oil. Can someone please tell me what's wrong and if I need to get it repaired.

Please call +1 800 327-9735 and tell CIC your issue to get a HW Service ticket for diagnosis. Depending on the noise, this may be a situation where continued use of any kind may damage the machine.

Definitely.

This reminds me... have you heard The Legend of the Chicken Bones that Zeiss hardware techs tell? The story goes that at a particular customer's facility the machine was making a strange grinding noise and its measurement results were erratic. During the technician's troubleshooting, he noticed that underneath the dust shroud for the y-axis there were piles and piles of chicken bones. After investigation, it turns out that a night shift employee had utilized this cavity to discard spent buffalo wings.
