Backlash Compensation setup info:
Press the enter key on Backlash Compensation
Backlash is the loss motion that occurs when the encoder reverses direction and begins to record motion before the table actually moves.
Backlash compensation takes this loss motion into account and corrects the move. All systems that move mass under control exhibit backlash.
Some causes include structural component flexion, bearing end thrust, and wind-up of the ballscrew that drives the slide.
Measure backlash, and store the value in Setup Utility. Once backlash compensation activates, the CNC automatically calculates the necessary motion corrections.
[Default: 0.0000” for all axes, with Backlash Compensation turned Off (Disabled)]
NOTE: Backlash Compensation can only be used with Rotary encoders not Linear Scales!
