1. Outline
In bidirectional pitch error compensation, different pitch error compensation amounts can
be set for travel in the positive direction and that in the negative direction, so that pitch
error compensation can be performed differently in the two directions, in contrast to
stored pitch error compensation, which does not distinguish between the directions of
travel. In addition, when the direction of travel is reversed, the compensation amount is
automatically calculated from the pitch error compensation data to perform compensation
in the same way as in backlash compensation. This reduces the difference between the
paths in the positive and negative directions.
2. Setting data
1. Setting parameters
Set the following parameters for each axis.
Table (a)
Data number Description
3605#0 Bidirectional pitch error compensation, 1: Enabled / 0: Disabled
3620 Number of the pitch error compensation point of the reference
position
3621 Number of the most distant pitch error compensation point on the
- side for travel in the positive direction
3622 Number of the most distant pitch error compensation point on the
+ side for travel in the positive direction
3623 Pitch error compensation magnification
3624 Pitch error compensation point interval
3625 For a rotation axis, amount of travel per rotation in pitch error
compensation
3626 Number of the most distant pitch error compensation point on the
- side for travel in the negative direction
3627 Pitch error compensation amount (absolute value) at the
reference position when the machine moves to the reference
position in the direction opposite to that of a reference position
return
2. Pitch error compensation data
The compensation point numbers can be from 0 to 1023 and from 3000 to 4023.
This data may be used for both the positive and negative directions. Note, however,
that the set of compensation data for a given axis cannot extend over 1023 and
3000.
