Configuring error compensation across axes
Nonlinear error compensation (NLEC): By means of a maximum of a 99
supporting points, the measuring range is divided into a grid with multiple
subareas. For every subarea, a distinct compensation factor is determined and
applied.
Squareness error compensation: The compensation factor is determined by
comparing the nominal angle of the spatial axes with the measurement result.
The compensation factor is applied to the entire measuring range.
NOTICE
Subsequent modifications to the encoder settings can result in measuring
errors
If encoder settings such as the encoder input, encoder model, signal period, or
reference marks are changed, previously determined compensation factors may
no longer apply.
If you change encoder settings, then you need to reconfigure the error
compensation
For all methods, the actual error curve must be exactly measured (e.g.,
with the help of a comparator measuring device or calibration standard).
Linear error compensation and segmented linear error compensation
cannot be combined with each other.
If you enable a reference point shift, then you need to reconfigure the
error compensation. This helps you avoid measuring errors.
Configuring linear error compensation (LEC)
With linear error compensation (LEC), the product applies a compensation factor
that is calculated from the specified length or angle of a reference standard
(nominal length or nominal angle) and the actual traverse path (actual length and
actual angle). The compensation factor is applied to the entire measuring range.
