Only then can the correct absolute position value be ascertained and output. To establish an unambiguous reference to the defined datum, you have to consider a reference offset. By applying the supporting point compensation from HEIDENHAIN, the system accuracy is increased. Procedure...
Measured value between the traversed reference marks [Degrees] Nominal increment between two fixed reference marks Grating period 360°/signal period Direction of rotation +1 or –1 Rotation as per to the mating dimensions results in +1 HEIDENHAIN | Initial Setup Instructions | 02/2024...
1 Marking of the 0° position ±5° Procedure You must query the positions of the referenced scanning heads simultaneously and calculate the offset according to the following equation. HEIDENHAIN | Initial Setup Instructions | 02/2024...
