Z axis backlash
Posted: Sat Nov 06, 2021 1:20 am
I'm contemplating making some gears for a clock and one option would be to make the pinions using my rotary axis. This is a Myford type dividing head with a stepper motor attached which works very well but does have some backlash, so it is best to drive it in a way that only needs rotation in one direction.
I see in the "job settings" tab of the 4th-axis toolbar there is a tickbox for "Uni Directional" - is this supposed to select this, or is there another setting, or indeed is it possible to do this at all in gearotic please?
