Electronic axis coupling/uncoupling
7.8 Electronic axis coupling/uncoupling
The CNC enables two or more axes to be coupled together. The movement of all axes is
subordinated to the movement of the axis to which they were coupled.
There are three possible ways of coupling axes :
• Mechanical coupling. This is imposed by the manufacturer of the machine, and is selected via
the axis machine parameter "GANTRY".
• By PLC. This enables the coupling and uncoupling of each axis through logic input on the CNC
"SYNCHRO1", "SYNCHRO2", "SYNCHRO3", "SYNCHRO4", and "SYNCHRO5". Each axis is
coupled to the one indicated in the axis machine parameter "SYNCHRO".
• By program. This enables electronic coupling and uncoupling between two or more axes,
through functions G77 and G78.
