Function Settings
MC_3003:
Z Linear correction
compensation
To determine the amount of Z-axis
correction required, measure the error
with a calibration device. When linear
correction is activated, the CNC
multiplies the commanded move by the
compensation value.
Correction = Distance Read by CNC ÷
Distance Actually Traveled
Range (0.300000–3.000000)
1.000000 [Default]
MC_3004:
U Linear correction
compensation
To determine the amount of U-axis
correction required, measure the error
with a calibration device. When linear
correction is activated, the CNC
multiplies the commanded move by the
compensation value.
Correction = Distance Read by CNC ÷
Distance Actually Traveled
Range (0.300000–3.000000)
1.000000 [Default]
Skew Error Compensation Setup Parameters
MC_3015:
Skew error
compensation
Skew error compensation corrects for
orthogonal machine errors. Skew error
is the amount of error, in radians, an
axis deviates from the parallel. Use a
calibration device to determine the
amount of correction required.
On (enabled)
Off
(disabled) [Default]
Switch
On
to activate
compensation entered. The CNC
activates skew compensation for
all affected axes.
MC_3016:
X Skew error
compensation
Use a calibration device to determine
the amount of X-axis correction
required.
Range (-10.0000–10.0000)
0.0000 [Default]
MC_3017:
Y Skew error
compensation
Use a calibration device to determine
the amount of Y-axis correction
required.
Range (-10.0000–10.0000)
0.0000 [Default]
MC_3018:
Z Skew error
compensation
Use a calibration device to determine
the amount of Z-axis correction
required.
Range (-10.0000–10.0000)
0.0000 [Default]
MC_3019:
U Skew error
compensation
Use a calibration device to determine
the amount of U-axis correction
required.
Range (-10.0000–10.0000)
0.0000 [Default]
