Gantry machine configuration
The direction of the preload (internal or
external sides of the teeth) is not critical,
however, we strongly recommend setting the
preload in the same direction for systems
that use two DRP+ units to drive one axis.
The following pictures show the direction of preload depending on motors direction of rotation.
