Some users implement a slave axis by linking two drives. Slave axis implementation in CSMIO/IP-A has
one significant advantage - available function of machine geometry correction (e.g. gantry perpendiculari-
ty). It is more specifically described in the addition „Slave axis configuration example”. In brief – for each
X, Y, Z-axis you can define one slave axis. The slave axes can be A, B and C.
Configuration parameters:
Axis selection, which one will be slave for the currently selected
Geometry correction value of a machine tool
Mode without correction – Master and Slave axes work just like
Homing position difference readout between Master and Slave
axes. After homing the value will be entered in „Geometry Cor-
rection” area.
After homing, Slave axis is “freed” for a while and geometry
correction motion is done. It allows for e.g. perpendicularity
settings in gentry machines.
In „A” addition you can find slave axis configuration example described.
If you want to use slave axis function – read the addition „Slave axis configuration example”.
CS-Lab Company has made every effort to ensure reliability of the CSMIO/IP-A controller. However, the
company does not take any responsibility for any mechanics damage as a result of wrong configuration
and any eventual failure or software errors of CSMIO/IP-A controller.
