Brief description
Spindle functions
Depending on the machine type the following functions are possible for a spindle controlled
by the NC:
●
Input of a direction of rotation for the spindle (M3, M4)
●
Input of a spindle speed (S)
●
Spindle stop, without orientation (M5)
●
Spindle positioning (SPOS=)
(position-controlled spindle required)
●
Gear change (M40 to M45)
●
Thread cutting/tapping (G33, G34, G35, G331, G332, G63)
●
Revolutional feedrate (G95)
●
Constant cutting rate (G96)
●
Programmable spindle speed limits (G25, G26, LIMS=)
●
Position encoder assembly on the spindle or on the spindle motor
●
Spindle monitoring for min. and max. speed.
●
Dwell time in spindle revolutions (G4 S)
An "enabled" spindle can be used instead of a controlled spindle. However, a spindle speed
(S) is then not entered via the program but, for example, manually (gearbox) at the machine.
This does not permit programming of speed limits. The following is possible via the program:
●
Input of a direction of rotation for the spindle (M3, M4)
●
Spindle stop, without orientation (M5)
●
Tapping (G63)
If the spindle has a position encoder, the following functions are also available:
●
Thread cutting/tapping (G33, G34, G35)
●
Revolutional feedrate (G95)
If the spindle is enabled, the setpoint output for the spindle via MD30130 CTRLOUT_TYPE =
0 must be suppressed.
