My question .............Is the mapping functional or actualy implemented?
Brett, thanks for the confirmation that it's functional ( just being lazy here).
Rich, but I respectfully disagree.
No problem Capt and if axis comp works for you that's great since I never used it.
Let us know how it works for you, now and in the future.
Just a few comments:
Accuracy or true resolution only comes from the SYSTEMS over all mechanical ability.
IE. In testing we found that timing belt tension can affect positional accuracy, verified by varifying the tension and monitoring
pulse count info at each interface of the electronics and physicaly measuring via a known stantard.
If like backlash comp, which i used, and helped me for some time.........but, when doing 3d machining it just didn't cut it.
When engraving or machining small stuff nothing beats true mechanical ability. Backlash can be problematic even when
compensated.
I am just saying that software solutions just mask the mechainical problem.
Enough of being anal about it, just spent a lot of time in the past trying to get my machines accurate.
Have a Merry Christmas,
RICH
