By this function, the machine having two linear axes and one rotary axis, not having 3
linear axes, can be controlled as a normal X-Y-Z axes machine.
The linear axis not having a real axis becomes a hypothetical axis and it is necessary
that hypothetical axis is set as one of CNC controlled axes.
On the machine showing below figure (Fig.1) needs two hypothetical axes and three
real axes, so the number of CNC control axes is five.
X-Y-Z command in cartesian coordinate is available in the hypothetical axis command
mode, and the command for real axis , for example V-Z-C command, is available in
real axis command mode. DI signal is prepared for switching between the hypothetical
axis command mode and real axis command mode. Both modes are effective in both
automatic operation mode and manual mode.
