Linear guides
The two linear guides (Fig. 9/2), lead to the inclusion of the
accessory holder. The ball screw spindle (Fig. 9/1) represents the
Z-axis on which the accessory holder with a suitable tool (43H7
recording) are moved along the Z-linear guides.
HINT:
Reference switches are required for axes without absolute position encoder to
feature in the initialization of the axis by a known reference point (zero point of the
axis). From this position, all other positions are then calculated relative to the
process of the axis via software.
