Three-dimensional handle feed/interrupt in parallel axis control and twin table
control
- Procedure for three-dimensional handle feed/interrupt on a machine that controls
two heads/tables
When three-dimensional handle feed/interrupt operation is to be
performed on a machine that controls two heads/tables, the two
heads/tables to which the controlled axes belong must be set in a
parameter, and the three-dimensional handle mode selection state of
each head/table must be set in another parameter. For actual operation,
the three-dimensional handle mode signal, handle axis selection signal,
and head selection signal must be entered to operate the manual handle
pulse generator.
In the explanation below, we assume that two heads are used. When
two tables are used, the word head(s) should be read as table(s).
When three-dimensional handle feed/interrupt operation is to be
performed using two heads according to the procedure below in twin
table control, set the synchronization control selection signal (SYNCx)
to 0. When this signal is set to 1, three-dimensional handle
feed/interrupt operation cannot be performed.
The setting procedure is as follows:
(1) Set bit 1 (PHH) of parameter No. 7540 to 1 to enable the three-
dimensional handle feed/interrupt function on the machine that is
to control two heads.
(2) In parameter No. 7543, set the two heads used for three-
dimensional handle feed/interrupt to which each controlled axis
belongs. A combination of axes in each selected head should be
set with a combination of linear axes and rotation axes for normal
three-dimensional handle feed/interrupt. If an invalid combination
of linear axes and rotation axes is used, three-dimensional handle
feed/interrupt operation is not performed.
