such belts.
These kinds of errors are not ones that can be seen by eye. I
routinely put a dial indicator against the toolpost and make test
moves with the cnc control in MDI. Sounds like maybe some tests with
various amounts of weight hanging over a pulley to simulate cutting
forces are in order. This will be very hard to measure though as an
acme screw is not backdriveable. What I probably will measure is the
small amount of slop known to be in the worn nut mounting. But if the
belt slop is present, it should be measureable by commanding a move
under static load.
For a servo machine, I could see some wisdom in putting the encoder on
the screw... heck, I'm tempted to use a long V belt to the motor on a
certain temporary ("computerized power feed" class) project.
