I am not sure that I understand Your question. Do You want to be able to find the exact center of rotation of the rotary joint? In that case You can mount a round part in chuck and then find its center with touch probe. Chris Radek's page has some sample routines for touch probe: http://timeguy.com/cradek/01262579508 Viesturs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
