1.6.2 Compensation for reversal errors in circular motion
The stiction in the axis bearings can lead to reversal errors at the quadrant transitions during circular
movements.
Commercially available devices such as the HEIDENHAIN Double Ball Bar system (DBB) can
diagnose these errors and determine the size and duration of their peaks.

The TNC can then compensate for these errors. The size of the reversal error which is to be
compensated is entered in machine parameter MP711, and the portion of the peaks to be
compensated per closed loop cycle time is entered in MP712.
The diagram from the DBB system shows the size and duration of a reversal peak.
The input value for MP712 can be calculated as follows:
–
Duration of the reversal peak

the peak width is [°] indicated in the diagram;
feed rate [mm/min] is the programmed contouring feed rate.
