2.1.5 Replaceable geometry axes
Significance
The "Replaceable geometry axes" function allows the geometry axes in a grouping to be
replaced by other channel axes.
Axes that are initially configured as synchronous special axes in a channel can replace any
selected geometry axis in response to a program command.
Example
On a machine with two Z axes, Z1 and Z2, either of the Z axes can be programmed as the
geometry axis in response to an instruction in the part program.
Activation
Axis replacement is activated by the program command:
GEOAX([n, channel axis name]...)
n=0: Removes an axis from the geometry axis grouping.
n=1, 2, 3: Index of the geometry axis
GEOAX( ): Establishes the basic setting defined via MD for the assignment of
channel axes to geometry axes.
Channel axis name: Name of channel axis, which is to operate as a geometry axis.
A channel axis, which has been designated a geometry axis, can only be addressed under
its geometry axis name. The geometry axes names themselves remain unchanged.
Geometry axes can be replaced either individually or as a group in one command.
