So what I’ve decided to do here, is with the slightly better belt, which gets rid of about 25% of error... Set the slack compensation to 10mm, it doesn’t remove all of it, but it removes about 50% of the error, as 45mm to remove all is unworkable (from an operational / speed point of view) So I now ...

[Stefan]Also, as for why this is happening, it seems possible it is due to the belt moving on the pulleys. You go one direction the belt might move up on the pulleys, you go the other direction, it might go down on the pulleys. When you put a new belt on it probably had a slightly different width, ...

I tried new belts/pulleys from amazon today. 25% reduction in the backlash, but doesn't solve it. I've also tried deflecting various plates, surfaces, cable chains etc. manually to see if I can reproduce, no visible deflection of anything during movement. So, it appears I have 2 types of backlash, t...

Still haven't found a solution to this.... I've tried replacing the stepper with a different model/brand, no difference. The problem occurs on X & Y and exhibits the same features. I can't effect the problem by tugging on the cable carrier or twisting the head (top to bottom or planar). Belt ten...

Installed the latest version of the software (28/5/18) and enabled Vigorous Homing, the issue still persists with no change.

Just to update. I've installed the new Y axle, cameras and diffuser. The problem still persists, so those can be ruled out as the cause.

Next, installing the new version of the software and trying the new homing feature....

Is your Y axis tube black? It is, I've only been looking at the X axis so far. I got the silver Y axis tube in the camera upgrade kit, so I'll be installing it today. Also, please note https://www.liteplacer.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=6087 and my comment in the second post. I'll try the new...

No, it didn't go anywhere, pretty much exhausted every possibility I could think off, so the machine has just been sitting not accurate enough to use.

I have the new high res cameras, I'm gonna put those in, to see if they make a difference, but I don't expect it to.

Regarding the camera upgrade kit, should I be ordering 2 kits @ 80 euros each (up and down looking camera) or 1 kit per machine?
Thanks

>You should be able to see if it does. Yes I see it, it was more of a statement i.e. that it doesn't make sense.
