Precautions
(1) Several axes can be set as index table indexing axes.
(2) The movement speed of index table indexing axes follows the feedrate of the modal (G0/G1) at
that time.
(3) The unclamp process for the indexing axes is also issued when the index table indexing axes
are commanded in the same block as other axes. Thus, the movement of other axes
commanded in the same block is not carried out until the unclamp process completes.
Note that the movement of other axes commanded in the same block is carried out for
non-interpolation commands.
(4) Index table indexing axes are used as normal rotation axes, but this function performs an
unclamp process even for linear axes.
(5) If some error that makes unclamp command OFF occurs during indexing axis movement in
automatic operation, the unclamp state will be remained, and the indexing axis will execute a
deceleration stop.
Other axes commanded in the same block will also execute a deceleration stop, except for
non-interpolation commands.
(6) If the axis movement is interrupted by an interlock, etc., during indexing axis movement, the
unclamp state will be remained.
(7) The clamp and unclamp process are not executed when the movement commands of the index
table indexing axis are continuous.
Note that the clamp and unclamp process are executed even when the movement commands
are continued during single block operation.
(8) Make sure that the command position is at a position where clamping is possible.
