11.5.25 Position spindle
The NCK provides an oriented spindle stop function with which the spindle can
be moved into a certain position and held there (e.g. for tool changing pur-
poses). Several programming commands are available for this function which
define the approach and program processing.

S To absolute position (0–360 degrees)
S Incremental position (+/– 999999.99 degrees)
S Block change when position reached
S Block change on block end criterion
The control brakes the spindle down to creep speed at the acceleration rate for
speed operation.
If the creep speed has been reached (INT ”Spindle in setpoint range”), the con-
trol branches into position control mode and the acceleration rate for position
control mode and the K
V
factor become active.
The interface signal ”Exact stop fine” is output to indicate that the programmed
position has been reached (block change when position reached).
The acceleration rate for position control mode must be set such that the current
limit is not reached. The acceleration rate must be entered separately for each
gear stage.
If the spindle is positioned from zero speed, it is accelerated up to a maximum
speed corresponding to creep speed; the direction is defined via machine data.
The contour monitoring function is activated as soon as the control mode
switches to position control.
