1. Outlines
In the electronic gear box (EGB), when synchronization start or cancellation is specified,
synchronization is not started or canceled immediately.
Instead, acceleration/deceleration is executed first. Therefore, synchronization can be
started or canceled while the spindle is rotating. Also, synchronization ratio can be
changed while the spindle is rotating.
At synchronization start, automatic phase synchronization is performed such that the
workpiece axis position matches the position corresponding to the spindle one-rotation
signal. With this synchronization, the same operation is performed as synchronization
start caused by a one-rotation signal in hobbing synchronization when using the
functions of a hobbing machine.
The spindle corresponds to the EGB master axis and the workpiece axis corresponds to
an EGB slave axis (Servo axis or Cs contouring axis).
