    How to reduce backlash errors or compensate for mechanical system inaccuracies

    Anna Townshend
    Preloaded ball screws, direct feedback mechanisms or control-based or drive-based lost motion compensation can manage backlash
    Controlling the motion path for lasers across multiple axes has come with certain limitations relating to performance, speed, practicalities and, not least, higher complexity and costs. The development of new modular controllers with the flexibility to link a laser to multi-axis positioning is making it easier for system integrators to design and build advanced systems for a new age of laser applications.
