Calibration of Linear Motion Systems Driven by a Stepping Motors

This is an instructional video describing the process and calculations needed to calibrate a linear drive system using a stepping motor for power. The mechanical means can vary widely including, but not limited to lead screw, roller chain and sprocket, rack and pinion, timing belt and pulley, etc. The video was intended to serve as a way to calibrate CNC machines; however, this method will work on many systems.
