Module Description
4.3.1
Z-axis with carriage
Abb. 8a: Z-Carriage
1 Trapezoidal thread spindle
2 linear guides
The two linear guides (Abb. 8a /2) guide into the
inclusion of the accessory bracket. The trapezoidal
threaded spindle (Fig. 8a / 1) represents the Z-axis on
which the accessory holder with a suitable tool (4
inclusion) moves along the Z-linear guides
Abb. 8b: Z-Carriage
1 Reference switch Z-axis
2 Magnetic contact
The reference switch (Fig. 8b / 1) responds to the
magnetic field of the incoming homing magnet (Fig. 8b /
2).
If the magnet is close enough the reed sensor of the
switch turns on.
The reference switch operates as closing contact;
in
switched state the signal circuit is closed.
HINT:
Reference switches are required for axes without absolute position
encoder to feature in the initialization of the axis by a known reference
point (zero point of the axis). From this position, all other positions are
then calculated relative to the process of the axis via software.
