6 Applications
6.5 Rotary axis mode
Parameters/Application parameters/Rotary axis
This menu is used for the configuration of rotary axis applications. They are used, for
example, for indexing rotary tables. In the case of a rotary axis application, the actual
position is artificially limited to a certain interval. If the actual position exceeds the limit of
the interval on the right-hand side, it assumes the limit value for the left-hand side and vice
versa.
A rotary axis configuration can be very useful for indexing rotary table applications in
combination with motion programs and position triggers. Advantages:
l No accumulating position offset during continuous indexing in the same direction
(this requires a gear factor that can be represented as an integer numerator and
denominator)
l Sequences for retracting movements can be implemented by way of motion
programs
l Position triggers inform the superordinate control system about specific positions
or zero positions of the indexing rotary table
l Reduced programming at the control system side
Figure 68: "Rotary axis" window
The window is divided into two areas:
The Rotary axis area can be used to configure the standard rotary axis functionality for the
actual position.
The Rotary axis synchronous position area can be used to configure a separate rotary axis
functionality for the synchronous position. As a result, the master position (synchronous
position) and slave position can use different position ranges.
