5.4 INDEX TABLE INDEXING FUNCTION
By specifying indexing positions (angles) for the indexing axis (one
rotation axis, A, B, or C), the index table of the machining center can
be indexed.
Before and after indexing, the index table is automatically unclamped
or clamped .
Explanation
- Indexing position
Specify an indexing position with address A, B, or C (set to bit 0 of
parameter ROTx No.1006).
The indexing position is specified by either of the following
(depending on bit 4 of parameter G90 No.5500):
1. Absolute value only
2. Absolute or incremental value depending on the specified G
code: G90 or G91
A positive value indicates an indexing position in the
counterclockwise direction. A negative value indicates an indexing
position in the clockwise direction.
The minimum indexing angle of the index table is the value set to
parameter 5512. Only multiples of the least input increment can be
specified as the indexing angle. If any value that is not a multiple is
specified, an alarm PS0135 occurs. Decimal fractions can also be
entered. When a decimal fraction is entered, the 1's digit corresponds
to degree units.
