Axis configuration
The explanation from here is based on the axis configuration shown in Fig.1.
The axis setting is shown in the following table. X,Y axes are the hypothetical axes,
V,Z,C axes are the real axes. X axis is a hypothetical axis for the real axis C, Y is a
hypothetical axis for the real axis V. It is necessary that the hypothetical axes are set
as one of the CNC controlled axis and also dummy axis by setting parameter No.1023
to “-128”. X-Y plane is called the hypothetical plane.
V axis is called the real linear axis in hypothetical plane and C axis is called the real
rotary axis in hypothetical plane.
Z axis is called the real axis out of the hypothetical plane.
The number of CNC controlled axes (Parameter No.1010) : 5
