Hi Brian,
I built a 4.5m cylindrical grinder. The Z axis is calibrated for
linearity to better than 0.03mm over the whole 4.5m meter travel.
But I want it even more accurate. Better than that is really hard to
accomplish mechanically, so I wonder if it can be done in Mach4 (as
far as I know it can't be done in Mach3). I can precisely map the
axis so that I have say 1000 points along the Z and a corresponding
correction in the X axis to compensate for the non-linearity. Can
Mach4 apply a correction in X axis for every point in Z?
Thanks,
Dan

Hello Dan,
This has been added but needs to be tested :( I have a few users
that are playing with this now so we hope to have it tested out
soon...
Thanks

Hi Brian,
That sounds great! Hope it works well. Would test it myself if the
Smoothstepper plugin ever gets released.

you are welcome to test it... I have not had the time to make a

This would be amazing exactly as dan describes... compensation of an axis based on another axises waypoints.
more cv options too.. no hurry tho, i think its coming :)

I don't know if this has come back to the surface or not. I know it
