Overview

Task

Backlash compensation has the purpose of compensating for the deviation between the real and calculated actual position of an axis caused by mechanical backlash.

Effectiveness

Backlash compensation can be activated for all axis types.

The effect of backlash can be compensated for all drive types.

Parameterisation

With regard to backlash compensation,

• the type of mechanical backlash P-AXIS-00021
• the amount of mechanical backlash P-AXIS-00103
• the distribution of mechanical backlash P-AXIS-00243

can be parameterised in the axis parameter record [AXIS].
