Title: Screw Compensation for Paired Master/Slave Axis for Gantry Router
Post by: ekbiker on December 21, 2023, 08:22:48 AM: Hi, I'm new to Mach. My gantry style CNC router is designed with two ball screws to drive the Y axis (moving the gantry). It's a master and slave arrangement. Let's call the master Y1 and the slave Y2. I want to use screw compensation in Mach4 Industrial. Does the Y1 and Y2 axis each have their individual screw compensation? Or is there just one set of compensation for both the Y1 and Y2?

Thanks
