Abstract
Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems and methods for accurate positioning of a unit movable by a drive system. The method may include adjusting tension of a resilient element of the drive system to reduce hysteresis motion errors of the resilient element below a predetermined threshold by performing measurements of the hysteresis motion errors of the resilient element for two or more tension values and selecting a tension value for which the hysteresis motion error is below the threshold.
