4.9 Creating a synchronous axis
To show the functionality of the path-synchronous motion, a synchronous axis is added to
the project. The synchronous axis is used, for example, to additionally rotate products during
the motion. The synchronous axis should rotate the grabber by 90° between the C and D
points.

Creating an axis
Add a positioning axis with the name Axis_Sync to the project. This axis is created as linear,
virtual, non-modular axis. Note that the path axis functionality is not used for this axis.
