(1) Home position return types
Select the optimum home position return type according to the machine type or others.
Type Home position return method Feature
Dog type Deceleration starts from the front end of the
proximity dog. After the rear end is passed,
the position specified by the first Z-phase
signal, or the position of the first Z-phase
signal shifted by the specified home position
shift distance is used as the home position.
The servo amplifier internally recognizes the
Z-phase signal one time per servo motor
revolution. The Z-phase signal cannot be
used as an output signal.
Typical home position return method using a
proximity dog
The repeatability of the home position return is high.
The machine is less loaded.
Use this when the width of the proximity dog can be
set equal to or greater than the deceleration distance
of the servo motor.
Count type Deceleration starts from the front end of the
proximity dog. After the front end is passed,
the position specified by the first Z-phase
signal after the set distance or the position
of the Z-phase signal shifted by the set
home position shift distance is set as a
home position.
This is a home position return method using a
proximity dog.
Use this to minimize the length of the proximity dog.
Data set type The position shifted by any distance
manually is used as the home position.
No proximity dog is required.
Stopper type A workpiece is pressed against a
mechanical stopper, and the position where
it is stopped is set as the home position.
Since the workpiece collides with the mechanical
stopper, the home position return speed must be low
enough.
The strength of the machine and stopper must be
increased.
Home position ignorance
(servo-on position as home
position)
The position at servo-on is used as the
home position.
Dog type rear end reference Deceleration starts from the front end of the
proximity dog. After the rear end is passed,
the position is shifted by the travel distance
after proximity dog and the home position
shift distance. The position after the shifts is
used as the home position.
The Z-phase signal is not required.
Count type front end
reference
Deceleration starts from the front end of the
proximity dog. The position is shifted by the
travel distance after proximity dog and the
home position shift distance. The position
after the shifts is used as the home position.
The Z-phase signal is not required.
Dog cradle type After the front end of the proximity dog is
detected, the position specified by the first
Z-phase signal is used as the home
position.
Dog type last Z-phase
reference
After the front end of the proximity dog is
detected, the position is shifted away from
the proximity dog in the reverse direction.
Then, the position specified by the first Z-
phase signal or the position of the first Z-
phase signal shifted by the home position
shift distance is used as the home position.
Dog type front end reference Starting from the front end of the proximity
dog, the position is shifted by the travel
distance after proximity dog and the home
position shift distance. The position after the
shifts is used as the home position.
The Z-phase signal is not required.
Dogless Z-phase reference The position specified by the first Z-phase
signal, or the position of the first Z-phase
signal shifted by the home position shift
distance is used as the home position.
