Geometry errors of
axes
There are basically two types of error – Component error and position error:
Component errors – deviations from the ideal movement – are identified by
three characters (e. g. EAX) according to the standard ISO 230-1. The
characters designate position functions of the axis under consideration.
1st character (E): Identifier of the component error
2nd character (e.g. A): Error direction
3rd character (e.g. X): Axis under consideration
Position errors – deviations from the ideal axis position– are also identified by
three characters ((e. g. X0C) according to the standard ISO 230-1. These
characters designate constants.
1st character (e.g. X): Error direction
2nd character (0): Identifier of the position
3rd character (e.g. X): Axis under consideration
Angular errors of
linear axes
Position error (angle) between linear axes. Example:
Principal axis X
1st minor axis Z
2nd minor axis Y
