Author Topic: Screw Compensation for Paired Master/Slave Axis for Gantry Router  (Read 471 times)

0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.

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

Thanks. But this is a pre-sale question.

Screw compensation is per motor not per axis so each screw can be calibrated individually.
