1.1 Coupled motion
1.1.1 Function
The "coupled motion" function enables the definition of simple axis links between a master
axis and a slave axis, taking into consideration a coupling factor.
Coupled motion has the following features:
• Any axis of the NC can be defined as a master axis.
• Any axis of the NC can be defined as a coupled axis with a specific coupling factor.
• The master axis and coupled motion axis or axes together form a coupled axis grouping.
• Any number of coupled motion axes can be assigned to a master axis.
• A total of 2 leading axes may be assigned to each coupled motion axis.
• A coupled motion axis can be the master axis of a further coupled axis grouping.
• Traversing movements of the master axis are executed in synchronism on all slave axes
• Coupled motion axes can be moved independently of the master axis while the coupling
• The master and coupled motion axes of a coupled axis grouping are defined, and the
• Coupled motion is also possible in the following manual modes: JOG, JOG REF, JOG
