I once worked on a similar system that counted spacing on an assembly line track, the exposed tip became damaged from debris. We re-ground the tip to the proper shape then adjusted the mount so the spacing to the track was correct. Not sure it will work for your situation, but I thought I'd throw it out there.

Thanks Nick, this does not have an exposed area. It is encased in clear epoxy and all you can see are two metallic pads with three brass pins on each side (again encased in epoxy) We have been playing with the spacing so you're right on with that idea. The funny thing is that it will read the scale smoothly but will not find the registration mark (when you "home" the drive it needs to find this reference point so it knows where zero is). I have double checked all connections and that has me believing that by wearing through that epoxy we have damaged or contaminated something.
