Configure An Axis As Rotary Axis - Fagor CNC 8060 Installation Manual

CONFIGURING AN AXIS.
11.1

Configure an axis as rotary axis.

The CNC admits different ways to configure a rotary axis depending on how it is going to
move. Hence, the CNC can have rotary axes with travel limits, for example between 0º and
180º (linearlike rotary axis); axes that always move in the same direction (unidirectional
rotary axis); axes that choose the shortest path (positioning-only rotary axis).
All rotary axes must be programmed in degrees; therefore, they will not be affected by the
mm-inch conversion. The number of revolutions the axis will turn when programming a
distance greater than the module depends on the type of axis. The limits to display the
position values (coordinates) also depend on the type of axis.
Linearlike rotary axis.
The axis behaves like a linear axis, but it is programmed in degrees. The CNC displays the
position values between the travel limits.
Machine parameter configuration.
Machine parameters LIMIT+ and LIMIT- set the travel limits for the axis; there are no module
limits.

Normal rotary axis.
This type of rotary axis can turn in both directions. The CNC displays the position values
between the limits of the module.
G90 movements.
The sign of the position value indicates the
moving direction; the absolute position value
indicates the target position.
Even if the programmed distance is greater than
the module, the axis never turns more than one
revolution.

Normal incremental movement. The sign of the
position value indicates the moving direction; the
absolute position value indicates the position
increment.
If the programmed distance is greater than the
module, the axis turns more than one revolution.
