Compensation point
Measuring leadscrew error compensation
The reference point is first approached to synchronize the measuring system. This is then
followed by travel to the negative range limit of the axis, commencing from this point to plot an
error curve in the positive direction using an accurate instrument; the reference point must be
identified.
