I'm not quite clear about the mounting you're suggesting Mike. The Z axis scale, or any of them for that matter, should be mounted in such a way that the flap seal for where the read head travels should be facing away from flying hot chips. As long as you have that you're OK.
And as Darren asked, do you have a stop screw or block mounted just proud of the X axis scale so it can't hit the back of the machine base?
