I am in discussion with a chap who is retrofiting a Hardinge HXL. It has linear scales, interpolator boxes set to 256x and is running a 5i25/7i77 combo.
The repeatability is good. Actually is is better than good, it returns to the exact same digit on a 0.1um (0.000004") length probe every time. http://youtu.be/2oWc6val6ME The problem is that the travel distance isn't accurate. A 50mm move is out by 0.158mm. The encoder scale is set to 25600 (10um scales, 256 interpolation). It doesn't seem like it could be missed encoder counts or the repeatability wouldn't be so good. Any ideas where to look? Bear in mind that this is all done by linear scales. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get your SQL database under version control now!
