Machine data examples
The assignment of the above machine data is described in the following paragraphs using
two examples.
Example of indexing axis as rotary axis
Tool turret with 8 locations. The tool turret is defined as a continuously rotating rotary axis.
The distances between the 8 turret locations are constant. The first turret location is located
at position 0°:
Figure 16-3
The indexing positions for the tool turret are entered in indexing position table 1.
MD10910 $MN_INDEX_AX_POS_TAB_1[0] = 0
MD10910 $MN_INDEX_AX_POS_TAB_1[1] = 45
MD10910 $MN_INDEX_AX_POS_TAB_1[2] = 90
MD10910 $MN_INDEX_AX_POS_TAB_1[3] = 135
MD10910 $MN_INDEX_AX_POS_TAB_1[4] = 180
MD10910 $MN_INDEX_AX_POS_TAB_1[5] = 225
MD10910 $MN_INDEX_AX_POS_TAB_1[6] = 270
MD10910 $MN_INDEX_AX_POS_TAB_1[7] = 315
Other machine data:
MD10900 $MN_INDEX_AX_LENGTH_POS_TAB_1= 8 ; 8 indexing positions in table 1

= 1
MD30300 $MA_IS_ROT_AX [AX5] = 1
MD30310 $MA_ ROT_IS_MODULO [AX5] = 1
