9.3 Index Table Indexing

Function and purpose
Index table indexing can be carried out by setting the index axis. The indexing command only
issues the indexing angle to the axis set for indexing. It is not necessary to command special M
codes for table clamping and unclamping, thus simplifying the program.
Detailed description
The index table index function carries out operations as follows.
(Example) G00 B90 ;
(1) Set the "index_x" parameter (#2076) for the axis in which index table indexing will be carried out
to "1".
(2) The movement command (either absolute or incremental) for the selected axis is executed with
the program command.
(3) An unclamp process are carried out before the axis movement.
(4) The commanded axis movement starts after the unclamp process completes.
(5) The clamp process is carried out after the movement is completed.
(6) The next block is processed after the unclamp process completes.
