Hello all,
About a year ago I sent the worn leadscrews on my Prolight 2000 out to be rebuilt as they had considerable backlash. This cured the backlash, but the x-screw is worn unevenly so that it can be .005 out in an inch. Rather than buy a new lead screw, I'm thinking of adding a magnetic scale to the x-axis and converting the output to mimic the 8 bit grey code of the shaft encoder on the servo shaft. Does anyone know of a reason that this wouldn't work?
Regards
