10 – Motion Compensation
On the Axis screen, enter -5 for Absolute Home Position and 5 for Home Offset Distance.
To allow Phoenix to compensate for position inaccuracies on an axis, complete the following steps:
Map the axis.
Create a compensation data file for the axis.
Load the data file into the CNC.
Turn on motion compensation in Phoenix.
Repeat these steps for each axis you want to map.
Map Axes
The CNC uses the parameters in the Laser Mapping screen to generate a part program that allows the laser
interferometer to map the position of each drive axis (rail, transverse, and dual gantry) at specified positions (or targets).
Before you begin mapping an axis, you must install the laser interferometer on the axis that you want to map. Refer to the
manufacturer’s documentation for details.
Map the entire length of each axis with the laser interferometer and start the home position.
1. Home the gantry.
2. In Phoenix, open the Cutting screen and set the Cut Mode to Plasma or Oxyfuel.
