X-Y Coupling X-Y coupling refers to the mechanical linkage and coordination between the X and Y axes for accurate 2D positioning and motion control. It influences speed, precision, and print quality. Common X-Y coupling systems include belts, lead screws, or linear rails. Advanced systems use CoreXY, H-bot, or SCARA kinematics for high-speed, high-resolution movement. Proper alignment, tension, and motion planning ensure consistent layer bonding and dimensional accuracy. X-Y coupling enhances toolpath optimization, surface finish, and mechanical properties, supporting complex geometries, multi-material prints, and high-speed production. |
