X/Y hysteresis or backlash

[flysorter]

There is a small (on the order of 1 mm) amount of hysteresis or backlash in the X/Y motion platform.

Approaching the same point from different directions yields different final resting points for the robot.

(Temporary workaround is to always approach from the same direction.)

Any new solutions on this problem? I've noticed the same thing myself.

Unfortunately, nothing beyond the above. In our use, approaching from the same direction did result in consistent positioning. Not ideal, I understand.
