7.8 Switchable geometry axes, GEOAX
Programming
GEOAX(n,channel axis,n,channel axis,…)
GEOAX()
Explanation of the parameters
GEOAX(n,channel axis,n,channel
axis,…)
Switches over the geometry axes.
GEOAX()
Calls the basic geometry axis configuration
n
Number of the geometry axis (n=1, 2 or 3) to be
assigned to another channel axis.
n=0: Remove the specified channel axis from the
geometry axis group without replacing it.
Channel axis
Name of the channel axis to be included in the gantry
axis grouping.
Function
With the function "Switchable geometry axes" the
geometry axis group configured in the machine data
can be changed from the part program. A channel
axis defined as a synchronized auxiliary axis can
replace any geometry axis.
Example:
A tool slide can be traversed via channel axes X1,
Y1, Z1, Z2. Axes Z1 and Z2 are to be used
alternately as geometry axis Z in the part program.
GEOAX programmed in the part program switches
between the axes.

Y
Following activation, the connection
X1, Y1, Z1 is effective (can be defined in machine
data).
N100 GEOAX (3,Z2)
N110 G1 .....
Channel axis Z2 operates as the Z axis.
N120 GEOAX (3,Z1)
Channel axis Z1 operates as the Z axis.
