Workpiece 1 and turret 2 are
controlled by a path 1 program.
Workpiece 2 and turret 1 are
controlled by a path 2 program.
(2)Parameter setting
S To specify composite control in which commands for the X1--axis
are interchanged with those for the X2--axis, set parameter No.
8183x of path 2 to “1”.
S Set MCDx (bit 6 of parameter No. 8162) of paths 1 and 2 to “1”,
because the direction of the X1--axis is opposite to that of the
X2--axis.
S To cause the position of a turret in one path to be specified
automatically in the workpiece coordinate system of the other path
when composite control begins, set MPMx (bit 4 of parameter No.
8162) to “1”.
S To cause the position of a turret in each path to be specified
automatically in the workpiece coordinate system of that path
when composite control ends, set MPSx (bit 5 of parameter No.
8162) to “1”.
S Assuming that the relationships between the workpiece
coordinates and reference position of each path are as shown below,
set “200000” in parameter No. 8184x of path 1 and “180000” in
parameter No. 8184x of path 2 for automatic coordinate system
setting.
