Synchronized
axes (option 24)
Synchronized axes move in synchronism
and are programmed with the same axis
designation.
With HEIDENHAIN controls, parallel
axis systems (gantry axes) such as on
portal-type machines or tilting tables
can be moved synchronously to each
other through high-accuracy and dynamic
position control.
With Gantry axes more than one slave
axis can be assigned to one master gantry
axis. They may also be distributed to
several controller units.
B axis
(option 54)
With a B axis it is possible to drill, bore and
mill in oblique planes. Programming, as
usual, can be done in the main plane.
Moreover, by tilting the B axis and rotating
the tool you can bring it into positions
that enable you, for example, to use a
single tool to machine in the longitudinal
and transverse directions on the main
and counter spindles. The number of
required tools and tool changes can thus
be reduced.
Torque control
(option 24)
Torque control is used on machines with
mechanically coupled motors for which
•
a defined distribution of drive torque is
desired,
or
•
parts of the controlled system show a
backlash effect that can be eliminated
by “tensioning” the servo drives. (e.g.
toothed racks).
Real-time
coupling function
(option 135)
The real-time coupling function (synchronizing functions) allows
the cyclic calculation of a position offset for an axis from the actual
and nominal values of any other axes in the system. This enables
you to realize complex simultaneous movements of several NC
or PLC axes. The mutual dependence of the axes is defined in
mathematical formulas.
PLC axes
Axes can be controlled by the PLC. They are programmed
through M functions or OEM cycles. The PLC axes are positioned
independently of the NC axes and are therefore designated as
asynchronous axes.
