Measuring CNC Backlash and Software Compensation
about 3 years ago - 3 comments
This article describes how I measured the backlash on my CNC machine and then applied software compensation.
To measure backlash I used a Mitutoyo dial indicator with 0.0001″ markings and a full scale of 0.01″. The dial indicator was attached to an adjustable stand so the plunger could be placed against various surfaces on the machine.
