When the servo ready signal SA <F000.6> is set to 0, torque difference alarm detection is disabled.

NOTE

The servo axis number combination of the master axis and slave axis

synchronized with each other must be such that an odd servo axis number is

assigned to the master axis and the next servo axis number is assigned to the

slave axis like (1,2) and (3,4).

CAUTION

1 When making a synchronous error check, ensure that the reference position on

the master axis and the reference position on the slave axis must be at the same

position.

2 In manual reference position return operation, the same operation is performed

along the master axis and slave axis until a deceleration operation starts. After

a deceleration operation starts, grid detection is performed for the master axis

and slave axis independently of each other.

3 Pitch error compensation and backlash compensation are performed for the

master axis and slave axis independently of each other.

NOTE

1 During axis synchronous control, a movement based on the reference position

return check (G27), automatic reference position return (G28), 2nd/3rd/4th

reference position return (G30), or machine coordinate system selection (G53)

command is made as described below according to the setting of bit 7 (SRF) of

parameter No. 8304.

<1> When SRF = 0, the same movement as made along the master axis is made

along the slave axis.

<2> When SRF = 1, a movement is made along the slave axis to the specified

position independently of a movement made along the master axis to the

specified position.

2 A command not involving a movement along an axis such as the workpiece

coordinate system setting command and local coordinate system setting

command is set with the master axis according to the master axis programming.

3 During synchronous operation, the signals provided for each axis, such as the

external deceleration, interlock, and machine lock signals, are enabled only on

the master axis side and ignored on the slave axis side.

4 When switching the synchronization state in a program, be sure to specify M

codes (parameter No. 8337 and No. 8338) for turning synchronization on and

off. By switching between the input signals SYNCx <G138> and SYNCJx

<G140> from the PMC with the M codes, the synchronization state can be

switched in the program.

cancelled. When performing controlled axis removal, perform removal for the

master axis and slave axis at the same time.

6 If a programmed command is specified for the slave axis during synchronous

operation, an alarm PS0213 is issued.

A programmed command can be specified for the slave axis when switching

between synchronous operation and normal operation is set to 0 (with bit 5

(SCA) of parameter No. 8304 set to 0) to select normal operation.

7 Axis synchronous control and PMC axis control cannot be used at the same

time.

17.2 ROTARY AXIS ROLL-OVER

Overview

The roll-over function prevents coordinates for the rotary axis from overflowing. The roll-over function is

enabled by setting bit 0 (ROAx) of parameter No. 1008 to 1.

Explanation

For an incremental programming, the tool moves the angle specified in the command. For an absolute

programming, the coordinates after the tool has moved are values set in parameter No. 1260, and rounded

by the angle corresponding to one rotation. The tool moves in the direction in which the final coordinates

are closest when bit 1 (RABx) of parameter No. 1008 is set to 0. Relative coordinates can be rounded to

the angle corresponding to one rotation by setting bit 2 (RRLx) of parameter No. 1008 is set to 1.

Example

Assume that axis A is the rotary axis and that the amount of movement per rotation is 360.000 (parameter

No. 1260). When the following program is executed using the roll-over function of the rotary axis, the

axis moves as shown below.

17.3 ARBITRARY ANGULAR AXIS CONTROL

Overview

When the angular axis installed makes an angle other than 90° with the perpendicular axis, the Arbitrary

angular axis control function controls the distance traveled along each axis according to the inclination

angle as in the case where the angular axis makes 90° with the perpendicular axis.

Arbitrary axes can be specified as a set of an angular axis and perpendicular axis by parameter setting.

The actual distance traveled is controlled according to an inclination angle. However, a program, when

created, assumes that the angular axis and perpendicular axis intersect at right angles. The coordinate

system used at this time is referred to as the program coordinate system.

(The program coordinate

system may be referred to as the Cartesian coordinate system, and the actual move coordinate system may

be referred to as the angular coordinate system or machine coordinate system.)

Explanation

When the amounts of travel along the angular axis and the perpendicular axis are Ya and Xa, respectively,

the amounts are controlled according to the formulas shown below.

Xa,Ya: Actual distance

Ya =

cos θ

Xp,Yp: Programmed distance

The amount of travel along the perpendicular axis is corrected by the influence of travel along the angular

axis, and is determined by the following formula:

Xa = Xp - C × Yp × tanθ

NOTE

The coefficient C is 1/2 in the case of diameter specification for the

perpendicular axis (X) or 1 in the case of radius specification.

Feedrate

When the Y-axis is an angular axis, and the X-axis is a perpendicular axis, the feedrate along each axis is

controlled as described below so that the feedrate in the tangent direction becomes Fp.

The feedrate component along the Y-axis is determined by the following expressions:

Fa represents the actual feedrate.

Fay =

Fp represents a programmed feedrate.

Fax = Fp - Fp × tanθ

Absolute and relative position display

An absolute and a relative position are indicated in the programmed Cartesian coordinate system.

Machine position display

A machine position indication is provided in the machine coordinate system where an actual movement is

taking place according to an inclination angle.

Method of use

The angular and perpendicular axes for which arbitrary angular axis control is to be applied must be

specified beforehand, using parameters Nos. 8211 and 8212. When 0 is set in one of the parameters, the

same number is specified in the parameters, or a number other than the controlled axis numbers is

specified in a parameter, however, an angular axis and perpendicular axis are selected according to the

table below.

Z-axis of the basic three axes (axis with 3 set in

T series

• Bit 0 (AAC) of parameter No. 8200 enables or disables the arbitrary angular axis control. If the

function is enabled, the distance traveled along each axis is controlled according to an angular angle

parameter No. 8210.

• By using bit 2 (AZR) of parameter No. 8200, whether to make a movement along the perpendicular

axis by a movement made along the angular axis when a manual reference position return operation

is performed along the angular axis can be chosen.

• By setting the normal axis/angular axis control invalid signal NOZAGC to 1, angular axis control

only for the angular axis can be available. In this time the angular axis are converted to those along

the angular coordinate system without affecting commands to normal axis.

Use this signal when operating each axis independently.

Manual reference position return operation

A movement is made to the reference position (machine position) set in parameter No. 1240. By using

bit 2 (AZR) of parameter No. 8200, whether to make a movement along the perpendicular axis when a

reference position return operation is performed along the angular axis can be chosen.

Automatic reference position return operation (G28, G30)

A movement to the middle point along the angular axis affects a movement along the perpendicular axis.

As a movement from the middle point to the reference position along the angular axis, a selection can be

made with bit 0 (ARF) of parameter No. 8209 between a Cartesian coordinate system operation (FS0i-C

compatibility) and an angular coordinate system operation. If manual reference position return operation

is not performed even once after the power is turned on, operation is performed in the same sequence as

for manual reference position return operation. So, specify commands first for the angular axis then for

the perpendicular axis.

Example 1)

When the Y-axis is an angular axis and the X-axis is a perpendicular axis

(1) If the angular axis is first specified then the perpendicular axis is specified, reference position

return operation is performed normally.

(2) If the perpendicular axis is first specified then the angular axis is specified, or if the

Reference position return operation of high-speed type

When a reference position is already established and a reference position return operation of high-speed

Stored stroke limit

Stored stroke limits under arbitrary angular axis control can be set not in a angular coordinate system but

in the Cartesian coordinate system by setting bits 2, 1, and 0 (AO3, AO2, and AOT) of parameter No.

8201.

Fig. 17.3 (c) OT area in a angular coordinate system Fig. 17.3 (d) OT area in a Cartesian coordinate system

Machine coordinates include a value converted for the angular axis and a compensation value for the

perpendicular axis, so that a angular machine coordinate system as shown in Fig. 17.3 (c) results.

A stored stroke limit is checked in the machine coordinate system, so that the limit area is slanted to form

a rhombus as shown in Fig. 17.3 (c). In this case, the area cannot be identified intuitively. So, stroke

limits are checked not in an actual angular machine coordinate system but in a virtual Cartesian machine

coordinate system as shown in Fig. 17.3 (d).

The functions that operate in the Cartesian coordinate system are:

• Stored stroke check 1 (Both of I and II)

• Stored stroke check 2 (G22/G23)

• Stored stroke check 3

• Stored stroke check before move

The stored stroke check function before move does not work in a angular coordinate system.

Unless this function is enabled, and the coordinate system is converted to the Cartesian coordinate

system, no stroke check is made.

• Bit 7 (BFA) of parameter No. 1300 for specifying whether to issue an alarm before or after a stroke

limit is exceeded (valid for OT1 and OT3)

The stored stroke limit functions other than the above work in a angular coordinate system.

Relationships between this function and axis-by-axis input/output signals

The table below indicates the relationships between this function and the meaning of each controlled axis

signal.

The input/output signals are classified as signals valid for the program coordinate system (Cartesian

coordinate system) and signals valid for the machine coordinate system (angular coordinate system). In

the "Classification" column, "Cartesian" is indicated for a signal that is valid for the Cartesian coordinate

system, and "Angular" is indicated for a signal that is valid for the angular coordinate system.

A signal valid for the Cartesian coordinate system means a signal valid for a specified axis, and a signal

valid for the angular coordinate system is a signal valid for actual machine movement.

That is, when the perpendicular axis is moved by a command only for the angular axis:

A signal valid for the Cartesian coordinate system is affected by a movement along the angular axis.

A signal valid for the angular coordinate system is not affected by a movement along the angular

axis.

performed along the angular axis.

Synchronous control

For synchronous control on axes related to arbitrary angular axis control, the angular axis and Cartesian

axis on the master axis side and the angular axis and Cartesian axis on the slave axis side must be placed

under synchronous control at the same time. Moreover, synchronous control can be exercised between

angular axes only or between Cartesian axes only.

As a rigid tapping axis, no angular axis can be used.

Functions that cannot be used simultaneously

• Axis synchronous control, rigid tapping, PMC axis control

• Polygon turning, superimposed control

• Electronic gear box function

CAUTION

After arbitrary angular axis control parameter setting, be sure to perform manual

reference position return operation.

Before manual reference position return operation is performed along the

perpendicular axis, reference position return operation along the angular axis

must be completed (with the reference position return completion signal for the

angular axis (ZPx) set to 1). If reference position return operation is performed

along the perpendicular axis first, an alarm PS0372 is issued.

When the setting is made so that the tool moves along the perpendicular axis

during manual reference position return along the angular axis (bit 2 (AZK) of

parameter No. 8200 is set to 0), if once manual reference position return has

been performed along the angular axis, also perform manual reference position

return along the perpendicular axis immediately after the operation.

To move the perpendicular axis and the angular axis independently for each

other during manual operation, set perpendicular/angular axis control disable

signal NOZAGC to 1.

Once the tool has been moved along the angular axis when

perpendicular/angular axis control disable signal NOZAGC has been set to 1,

manual reference position return must be performed.

The same increment system must be used with the angular axis and

perpendicular axis.

Before a perpendicular axis reference position return check can be made,

angular axis reference position return operation must be completed.

No rotary axis must be set for the angular axis and perpendicular axis. A rotary

axis may be specified only for a linear axis.

18.1 OVERVIEW

In the program of the fixed form processing with the custom macro, the operator select the processing

pattern on the menu screen and specified the size, number and so on to the variable on the custom macro

screen. As above mentioned, this function enables users to perform programming simply without

programming using an existing NC language.

With the aid of this function, a machine tool builder can prepare the program of a hole machining cycle

(such as a boring cycle or tapping cycle) using the custom macro function, and can store it into the

program memory.

This cycle is assigned pattern names, such as BOR1, TAP3, and DRL2.

An operator can select a pattern from the menu of pattern names displayed on the screen.

Data (pattern data) which is to be specified by the operator should be created in advance with variables in

a drilling cycle.

The operator can identify these variables using names such as DEPTH, RETURN RELIEF, FEED,

MATERIAL or other pattern data names. The operator assigns values (pattern data) to these names.

The operator selects the pattern on the menu screen, and the selected pattern number is assigned to the

system variable. The custom macro of the selected pattern can be started by starting a program then

referring to the system variable in the program.

18.2 EXPLANATION

This function is consist of Pattern menu screen and Custom macro screen.

The process pattern is selected on the pattern menu screen.

Then the process pattern is selected, the custom macro screen is displayed.

On this custom macro screen, the variable with the name and comment is displayed according to the

selected process pattern.

The process data can be input by referring to the variable name with the numerical value on the drawing.

Bit 7 (NPD) of parameter No. 8135 can be set to enable or disable this function (0: enabled, 1: disabled).

MANUAL OPERATION

Explanation

Manual reference position return

The CNC machine tool has a position used to determine the machine position.

This position is called the reference position, where the tool is replaced or the coordinate are set.

Ordinarily, after the power is turned on, the tool is moved to the reference position.

Manual reference position return is to move the tool to the reference position using switches and

pushbuttons located on the operator's panel. (See Section III-3.1)

The tool can be moved to the reference position also with program commands.

This operation is called automatic reference position return (See Section II-6.1).

The tool movement by manual operation

Using machine operator's panel switches, pushbuttons, or the manual handle, the tool can be moved along

each axis.
