Gentlemen, With the cincikins.c file at www.mpm1.com:8080/cinci/cincikins.c I have motion issues. With the comp parameters at zero I have good motion. When I put .0001 in the ZcompX (I haven't tried others) I get X axis oscillation of approximately 2 inches magnitude and then a following error (X axis) and axis limit error (X axis). I understand the following error but not the limit error as the axis position is within 1 inch of home in the middle of 120 inches of motion. The object of the Xcomp, Ycomp and Zcomp functions is to compensate the linear axes for nonorthogonal axis motion. For example, in 14 inches of Z motion the tool will move .0015 in X and .001 in Y. This means the Z axis is not perfectly perpendicular to the XY plane. I get the same type of errors along the X and Y axes. I think I would want .0001 in the cincikins.ZcompX parameter and .000066 in the cincikins.ZcompY. What have I missed? thanks Stuart
