Compensation Files

Hello. I've recently struggled with a problem about compensation files, you can see the post that i shared by following this link: forum.linuxcnc.org/38-general-linuxcnc-q...n-files-and-backlash

The thing i wanna know is, does this compensation files work in auto mode? In my setup, i am measuring the effect of compensation files in mdi mode, with executing G-codes. But during machining, the mode becomes auto mode and i don't see the effect in part. In summary, i thought this compensation files does not work in auto mode. I would appreciate it if you share your knowledge about this topic.

Thanks.

Hello again @andypough. Firstly, thanks for your answer. I have handled it by arranging compensation files. As you said, it works in auto mode but in run time of machine, i didn't hear the extra movements of axises, but it is working well.

I processed pieces with compensation files in linear axises. I actually made some rectangles like stairs, then I've send this pieces to CMM. The results are worse than before(comp file not activated situation). I am wondering why is it happened? It increased the mistake over 2x in horizontal and vertical axises instead of reducing it. The possible reasons might be the home offsets of the machine were wrong, i don't know.

Here is my question,
1. When should i measure home offsets of linear axises? After enabling comp files or before?
2. Why this compensation didn't reduce the mistake in my piece? Why linear axises made higher mistakes in piece? Is there anything that i should do after measuring linear positioning errors and arrangement of compensation files?

Thank you for your answers,
Berkay
