Hi there,
Im brand new to the community, and am in the process of hooking up my old Strippit FC-1000 to a new controller from CamSoft.
Im having some positioning problems that they cant seem to help me with, and Im not sure whether its software related, noise related, or servo/encoder related.
Basically, this is my problem....
When I move the X axis in a positive direction.
Every 1" of travel equals 2000 encoder counts.
And 1" does infact equal 1".
Yet when the same axis moves back on itself, in a negative direction.
1" then equals 1.040"
So it adds about 40 thou per inch, everytime it moves negatively.
I cannot for the life of me figure out why this would be.
Since the reading on my screen and encoder, is reading exactly what it should.
So for instance....an example move would be.....
Positive move to 10" (Reading 10.000 - True position 10.000)
Negative move back to 5" (Reading 5.000 - True position 4.800)
Anybody have ANY idea as to what could be causing this.
Camsoft seems to think it is noise in the amps/encoders.
But I think its far too consistent to be noise.
Any help wouldbe greatly appreciated.
Thanks
