I hope this isn't a really stupid question, but what's the relationship between encoder resolution and following error?
For example, the machine I'm building currently has a linear encoder of 250 cycles per inch, or 1000 counts. I assume this won't allow me to achieve 0.001 following error. And I understand FE is also affected by machine rigidity, encoder noise, and other factors. Is there a formula that would tell me what FE would be reasonably achievable with my machine? If I install an encoder with double the resolution, will that cut my FE in half?
