Using Galil's Backlash and 2-D Leadscrew Error Correction

Learn how to implement Galil's firmware solution for correcting mechanical positioning errors in XY coordinate systems. This application note covers sources of error including pitch variation, bowing, and misalignment, then demonstrates how to use Galil's backlash compensation and 2-D correction tables to achieve improved repeatability and accuracy in motion control systems.
