GENERAL SETUP.
10.1 Configure the name and number of axes and spindles.
Valid names for axes and spindles.
The axis name is defined by 1 or 2 characters. The first character must be one of the letters
X - Y - Z - U - V - W - A - B - C. The second character is optional and will be a numerical
suffix between 1 and 9. This way, the name of the spindles may be within the range X,
X1…X9,...C, C1…C9. For example X, X1, Y3, Z9, W, W7, C...
The spindle name is defined by 1 or 2 characters. The first character must be the letter -S-
. The second character is optional and will be a numerical suffix between 1 and 9. This way,
the name of the spindles may be within the range S, S1 ... S9.
Name of the axes according to their type. DIN66217 standard.
Any of the names mentioned earlier may be assigned to any type of axis (rotary, auxiliary,
etc.). However, if possible, we recommend to apply the DIN 66217 standard when naming
the axes of the machine. The DIN 66217 standard names the various types of axes as
follows.
