The two linear guides (Fig. 12/1) and the ball screw (Fig. 12/2)
are located on the Y-bridge (Fig. 11/1) and represent the y-axis.
Along the Y-bridge the tool holder(Fig. 11/2) is moved with
suitable tool(43H7 tool holder).
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.
