10 – Motion Compensation
The CNC can read the data with any number of spaces or tabs between data types. The following table describes the
types of data in the file.
Load the Data File
After you create the data files, you must load them into the CNC so that Phoenix can access them.
1. Save the compensation data files that you created on a memory stick.
2. Insert the memory stick into one of the USB ports in the CNC.
3. In Phoenix, choose Files on the Main screen, and Load from Disk.
4. Choose Memory Stick in the Load from list.
5. Choose the file that you want to load and choose OK.
6. Repeat Steps 3 through 5 for every data file you want to load.
Turn on Motion Compensation
To allow Phoenix to use the compensation data during cutting operations:
1. Open the Machine screen with the password assigned to it.
2. Choose the axis (Transverse, Rail, Dual Gantry) on which you want to enable motion compensation.
Field Description Format
Header::
This must be the first line of the file. It identifies
the file as a laser compensation file. As shown
Target-count The number of targets in each run. 2 to 1000
Targets
The target positions along the axis. Position along the axis, in mm, with 6 significant
decimal places, where the laser interferometer
measures the axis position and the discrepancy
from the commanded position.
Axis The letter for the axis being measured. X, Y, Z (dual gantry)
Run-count
The number of runs along the axis to each target
location. An even number, between 2 and 1000
Run
Identifies the run during which the data was
collected. 1 to the value of Run-count.
Target
Identifies the target for which the data was
collected. Number in the sequence of positions identified
in Targets.
Data
The position deviation between the target
position and the axes actual position. A number, in mm/1000, with 3 significant
decimal places.
