8.MULTI-PATH CONTROL B-63943EN-1/02
- 914 -
Examples of Use
- Examples of independent control and of synchronous control on the Z1 and Z2
axes
(1) Machine configuration
(a) Independent control
Separate machining operations
are performed in path 1 (X1-Z1)
and in path 2 (X2-Z2)
Z1
Spindle S1
Turret 1
X1
Turret 2
X2
Z2
Spindle S2
(b) Z1-Z2 axis synchronous control
single workpiece is held on both sides, and
the spindle is moved with Z1 commands.
Z1
Spindle S1
Turret 1
X1
Turret 2
Z2
Spindle S2
(2) Parameter settings
- To synchronize the Z2 (slave) axis with the Z1 (master) axis,
set parameter No. 8180z of path 2 to "102".
- Because the plus directions of the Z1 (master) and Z2
(slave) axes are opposite, perform synchronization with a
mirror image applied. To that end, set parameter SMRz
(No.8162#0) of path 2 to "1".
- Because the movements along the Z1 (master) and Z2
(slave) axes must be equal, perform synchronous error
detection. Set parameter SERz (No.8162#1) of path 2 to
"1". Set the synchronous error limit in parameter No.
