Creating a gantry grouping
Introduction
The individual steps involved in the process are explained below using an example
constellation:
●
Setting up a gantry grouping
●
Referencing its axes
●
Aligning any offsets
●
Synchronizing the axes involved
Constellation
Machine axis 1 = gantry leading axis, incremental measuring system
Machine axis 3 = gantry synchronized axis, incremental measuring system
The following MD describes the output values. Individual settings must be corrected or
added later according to the information below.
Gantry machine data
Axis 1:
MD37100 GANTRY_AXIS_TYPE = 1
MD37110 GANTRY_POS_TOL_WARNING = 0
MD37120 GANTRY_POS_TOL_ERROR = 1 mm
MD37130 GANTRY_POS_TOL_REF = 100 mm (max. misalignment)
MD37140 GANTRY_BREAK_UP = 0
Axis 3:
MD37100 GANTRY_AXIS_TYPE = 11
MD37110 GANTRY_POS_TOL_WARNING = 0
MD37120 GANTRY_POS_TOL_ERROR = 1 mm
MD37130 GANTRY_POS_TOL_REF = 100 mm (max. misalignment)
MD37140 GANTRY_BREAK_UP = 0
