ABSTRACT:
A compensating device assembly and method for tolerating mis-alignment of a machine mounting on linear guides supported by a moving axis is disclosed. The compensating device includes a plurality of mounting blocks wherein the blocks include at least one datum block and at least three non datum blocks each attached to a support structure wherein the non datum blocks have error alignment element. The alignment element is provided by slots therein and sliding friction therebetween for errors in alignment between the blocks can be accommodated to thereby reduce the loads induced in the guides from misalignment.
