Note
For the programming of position axes, please observe the following documentation:
References:
Programming Manual Fundamentals; Chapter: "feed rate control" and "spindle motion"
Note
The maximum number of positioning axes that can be programmed in a block is limited to
the maximum number of available channel axes.
Definition
Positioning axes are defined using the following parameters:
● Axis type: Positioning axis type 1, type 2 or type 3
● End point coordinates (in absolute dimensions or in incremental dimensions)
● Feedrate for linear axes in [mm/min], for rotary axes in [degrees/min]
Example: Positioning axis type 1
Program code
POS[Q1]=200 FA[Q1]=1000
Example: Positioning axis type 2
Program code
POSA[Q2]=300 FA[Q2]=1500
Note
Within a part program, an axis can be a path axis or a positioning axis. Within a movement
block, however, each axis must be assigned a unique axis type.
