15.1.12 "C" axis: Activate the spindle as "C" axis
The spindle may be activated or deactivated as a "C" axis using the
instructions #CAX and #CAX OFF.
#CAX Activate the spindle as "C" axis
It activates a spindle as "C" axis. The "C" axis will be programmed as
if it were a rotary axis (in degrees).
The programming format is:
#CAX [<Sn>,<name>]
The spindle needs only be indicated when a spindle other than the
master is to be activated as a C axis. Otherwise, there is no need to
program it.
The <name> parameter sets the name that will identify the C axis. This
name will be used in the part program to define the movements. If not
programmed, there is a default name in the machine parameters to
name it (CAXISNAME).
Considerations about working with the C axis
Activating a running spindle as C axis stops the spindle.
While being a spindle active as "C" axis, no speed may be
programmed for it.
When activating the spindle as "C" axis, the CNC carries out a home
search of the "C" axis.
To activate an axis or spindle as "C" axis, it must have been defined
as such by the machine manufacturer (CAXIS)..
Although the machine may have several spindles defined as "C" axis,
only one of them may be active.
