From what I’ve done, the only thing missing is compensation for top-beam deflection.
I am trying to think about the best way of setting up some compensation such that we don’t have to set up a tape-measure and attempt to measure ~1 mm deflection for every machine that is built.
Would it be feasible to create a 3D model of some common machine configurations: default frame; default frame with unistrut; default frame with 2x6 header; etc. Use FEA to calculate deflection parameters for each machine configuration. These deflection parameters would then be placed into a data table as a configuration option in GC.
Just an idea. Any thoughts?
