Issue

Calibrate backlash compensation for axis x.

Solution

Automatically calibrates the backlash compensation for x using the primary calibration fiducial.

What This Step Does

This step measures backlash in the X axis and allows OpenPnP to compensate for it automatically.

Once configured, this helps improve positioning accuracy when the machine changes direction.

Click accept to begin the calibration.

OpenPnP will automatically move the machine to the correct position and begin measuring backlash in the X axis.

The machine will move back and forth in small increments and at different speeds while measuring the position of the fiducial.

The less stable your table is, the longer this step could take to complete.

Once the backlash compensation for X is completed, OpenPnP will calculate the backlash value automatically.

Good to Know

During this step the machine may move repeatedly in small increments along the X axis.

This is normal and allows OpenPnP to measure the amount of mechanical play in the system.

Be aware that this can take a long time to complete.

Once the process finishes and the issue is marked as Solved, click:

This will move to the next calibration step.

Next Step

Now that backlash compensation has been calibrated for the X-Axis, let's calibrate backlash compensation for the Y-Axis.
