Multipoint Axis Error Compensation
If you want to use the multipoint axis error
compensation feature, you must:
•
Activate the feature with operating parameter
40 (see "Operating Parameters"),
•
Traverse the reference marks after switching
on the display unit,
•
Enter a compensation value table.
Your machine may have a nonlinear axis error due to factors
such as axis sag or leadscrew errors. Such deviations are
usually measured with a comparator measuring system (such
as the HEIDENHAIN VM 101).
In the linear measurement mode:
You can make a compensation value table with 64
compensation values.
In the angular measurement mode:
You can make a compensation value table with 72
compensation points (point spacing: 5 degrees).
You select the compensation table through P00 CODE and by
entering the code number 10 52 96 (see "Operating
Parameters").
Ascertaining the compensation values
To ascertain the compensation values (e.g. with a VM 101)
you must select the compensation table and then press the
"–" key to select the REF display.

The letter "R" at the left of the display indicates that the
displayed position value is given with respect to the reference
mark. If "R" blinks, you must traverse the reference mark.
Entries in the compensation value table
1)
•
Datum
:
Here you enter the point at which the compensation is to
begin. This point indicates the absolute distance to the
reference point.
Do not change the datum after measuring the axis
error and before entering the axis error into the
compensation table.
•
Spacing of the compensation points
The spacing of the compensation points is expressed as:
Spacing = 2
Enter the value of the exponent x in into the compensation
value table.
Minimum input value:
Maximum input value:
Example: 900 mm traverse with 15 compensation points
==> 60.000 mm spacing between points.
Nearest power of two: 2
"Table for determining the point spacing")
Input value in the table: 16
•
Compensation value:
You enter the measured compensation value (in milli-
meters) for the displayed compensation point. Compensa-
tion point 0 always has the value 0 and cannot be changed.
