9.3 Additional part support axes
If the part support unit on the machine is equipped with additional spindles to be able to move
along the machine, then additional axes can be programmed on the control to control these
spindles. Each of these axes can be selected from the parameter screen of the digital part support.
X_GP
R_GP
Z_GP
Fig. 9.3.a
It is possible to program three axes for each part support unit:
• X_GP
• R_GP
• Z_GP
Since it is possible to program four part supports on a machine, four names for each axis type are
reserved: X_GP1, X_GP2, etc.
Programming any such axis for a part support involves the following:
1. in the parameter screen of the part support, select the axis name for each movement (X_GP1
for X-movement, etc.),
2. go to the auxiliary axis menu and program an auxiliary axis with the name that was chosen,
3. program the parameters for this axis,
4. make sure this axis is mapped on a module.
