1.1 Periodical secondary pitch error compensation
1. Overview
When a rotary table is rotated using a gear, there are two cycles of the
occurrence of pitch errors. One cycle is the same as that of the rotation of the
rotary table while the other is the same as that of the rotation of the gear for
rotating the rotary table. To compensate for pitch errors of these types, the
compensation for the pitch error due to the rotation of the gear is
superimposed on the compensation for the pitch error per rotation of the rotary
table.
2. Explanation
If the gear between the rotary table and the servo motor is of a single stage, as
shown in Fig 1.1(a), stored pitch error compensation is used for the
compensation for the pitch error of toothed wheel A and periodical secondary
pitch error compensation is used for the pitch error of toothed wheel B.
If there is a multiple-stage gear, as shown in Fig.1.1(b), stored pitch error
compensation is used for toothed wheel A and periodical secondary pitch error
compensation is used for the periodically pitch error that ooccurs in each pitch
error compensation interval of toothed wheel A.
