OK. If I do that, given my X backlash of 0.165mm and an assumed feed of 9.92mm for every 10mm commanded, then I end up with a table like: 00.00 00.00 0.165 (10.085-9.92) 10.00 09.92 10.085 (20.005-9.92) 20.00 19.84 20.005 (29.76-9.92+my_backlash) 30.00 29.76 Does that look right? Given 600mm travel on the X-axis, what table intervals make sense? >Or have I misunderstood the question? Well..... You missed bits... but it was multi-part :-) Were the 'errors' I showed (~.015mm over a 50mm move) in the right ball park for a non-ball-screw benchtop mill driven by steppers? Should I expect a commanded 50mm move to travel 0.040mm less than 50mm ? Does the variation in actual distance moved indicate missed steps? (the actual move varied with different microsteppings) Am I trying to fix something that's 'normal' ? -- Regards, Russell -------------------------------------------------------------------- | Russell Brown | MAIL: russ...@lls.com PHONE: 01780 471800 | | Lady Lodge Systems | WWW Work: http://www.lls.com | | Peterborough, England | WWW Play: http://www.ruffle.me.uk | -------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn the latest--Visual Studio 2012, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, more!
