    Unhappy FANUC 21iT pitch error parameters missing

    hello
    i have to compensate a machine from EMCO with Fanuc 21iT .but the problem is that there are no pitch error compensation parameters in controller.
    how can i retrieve compensation parameters??

    Do you have the Fanuc manual explanation on entering the parameters?
    Did you understand the email for setting parameter?

    I hate to butt in here or hijack this thread....But I have a new Takasawa E-110 with a 21I TB controller. It it is acting like there is an issue with the pitch error on the X&Z. I machined a test piece with a series of steps .250dia-.500dia-1.000dia-2.000dia-4.950dia it will turn oversize about .0004/step a total of .0017 from the .250dia. to the 3.950dia. The Z axis seems to have about the same error measured on a CMM. The factory is also have a problem figuring out what is wrong. My question it what parameter controls the pitch error or matches the ball screw with the controller? I hope I explained my problem clearly and if anybody has any suggestions to help out feel free.
