Actuator Precision Characterization

In order to get the best precision from your positioning devices, it's important to have an understanding of the positioning mechanisms and their limitations. The purpose of this article is to describe the motion control technology used by Zaber's positioning devices, describe and quantify the inaccuracies that arise as a result, and offer some strategies to help minimize these effects. 

While not all applications require getting the most precision out of the device, knowing about the effects and techniques described above will allow you to stretch the use of lower cost and simpler devices to cover a wider range of uses. Knowing and understanding a device's limits also gives higher confidence in its performance.
