December 2001 Axis Error Compensation 6 – 41
Example The following dependencies apply for axes 2 = Y and 3 = Z:
n Ballscrew pitch error in Z and Y: Z = F(Z) and Y = F(Y)
n Axis sag in Z depending on Y
n Traverse range: Z = 800 mm, Y = 500 mm
n Datum point of compensation values: Z = –200 mm, Y = –90 mm
n Desired spacing of compensation points: 7 mm
Calculations:
Input values for the spacing of the compensation points:
possible powers of 2
