GantryFeedbackSeparation Parameter
Default Value: 0.0
Minimum Value: 0.0
Maximum Value: None
Units: distance
Type: float
The GantryFeedbackSeparation parameter defines Decoupling Control behavior of a gantry. For a gantry built from linear devices, it specifies a physical separation distance between the gantry spars. For a gantry built from rotary devices, this value is unity when the rotary units are radians. The table that follows supplies information to help you set the GantryFeedbackSeparation parameter.
| Logical Axis | Spar Device Type | Mechanical Design | GantryFeedbackSeparation Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| R | Linear | Rigid |
Distance between the spar feedback devices in the same units as the R axis position. |
| R | Linear | Flexible |
Distance between the flexible rotary joints in the same units as the R axis position. |
| R | Rotary | All |
Value depends on the R rotary units:
|
| Theta | All | All | 0 |
