15.1.12 "C" axis: Activate the spindle as "C" axis
The spindle may be activated or deactivated as a "C" axis using the
instructions
#CAX
and
#CAX OFF
.
#CAX Activate the spindle as "C" axis
It activates a spindle as "C" axis. The "C" axis will be programmed as
if it were a rotary axis (in degrees).
The programming format is:
#CAX [<Sn>,<name>]
The spindle needs only be indicated when a spindle other than the
master is to be activated as a C axis. Otherwise, there is no need to
program it.
The <name> parameter sets the name that will identify the C axis. This
name will be used in the part program to define the movements. If not
programmed, there is a default name in the machine parameters to
name it (
CAXISNAME
).
Considerations about working with the C axis
Activating a running spindle as C axis stops the spindle.
W hile being a spindle active as "C" axis, no speed m ay be
programmed for it.
When activating the spindle as "C" axis, the CNC carries out a home
search of the "C" axis.
To activate an axis or spindle as "C" axis, it must have been defined
as such by the machine manufacturer (
CAXIS
)..
Although the machine may have several spindles defined as "C" axis,
only one of them may be active.
