6.1.3 Assignment of the motion axes
The assignment of the motion axes depending from the operator position is:
On
flatbed machinery
:
X-axis = transverse axis (+X right; -X left)
Y-axis = longitudinal axis
(+Y away from the operator
;
-Y to the operator
)
Z-axis = lift axis
(+Z up; -Z down)
On
portal machinery (e.g. type EuroMod)
:
X-axis = transverse axis (+X right; -X left)
Y-axis = longitudinal axis
(+Y to the operator
;
-Y away from the operator
)
Z-axis = lift axis
(+Z up; -Z down)
6.1.4 Reference point, machine zero point and home position
The
Reference point
of the machine
(identically to the machine zero point)
is
ex factory at the following axes positions:
At the back (Y-axis)
left (X-axis)
at the top (Z-axis)
The
reference point
is set by the hardware
limit switches (factory set).
Former FlatCom machines had a
home
position
sensor to signal this special
position to the controller. This sensor was
needed because the motor power amplifiers
did not have the feature to supervise the
standstill of the driven single axis / motor.
The Home position sensor is not
needed for FlatCom machinery
because of the feature of
supervising standstill of axis in the
motor power amplifiers.
