Thanks,

Why do servos run on encoders mounted in the belt or rotor instead of
always using something like a capacitive strip on the ways? That's totally
limited backlashing down to the accuracy the strip could be read. I mean,
the encoder gives the position of the rotor but not the table. Does it
create problems with the machine trying to find the right spot for the table
to be in? Or is it just more expensive? : )
