GSM Spindle Runout Error | 19 July, 2022

We are in process of calibrating one of our GSM machines; we were able to successfully calibrate the front and rear ULC's but when we moved on to calibrate the head we get a spindle runout error midway through the routine (pic attached.) The spindles do not appear bent and we've never had placement issues before.

Does anyone know any common causes of the spindle runout error?

Nozzles are the issue - too small nozzle and calibration part will move slightly during rotation, as it's quite big.

Makes sense; hand written notes in our calibration kit noted that 340's we're acceptable, but apparently not.

Our calibration nozzles (360's) suffered from rubber disease (all rubber parts on GSM disintegrate into odd sticky molasse after a while), so we thought 340's will do. They did not...
