Controlling a Rotating Tool Spindle Axis
In some cases, such as for a composite lathe, a rotating tool spindle axis must be controlled in addition to the
standard spindle axis.
This type of control is possible with a MECHATROLINK-III single-axis control connection and allows the
use of both the VELCTRL command and the INTERPOLATE command.
Forward (M03), reverse (M04), and stop (M05) control for a certain number of revolutions (S min
-1
) can be
performed with the VELCTRL command. (Control can be performed in the same way as for a spindle axis.)
Gain banks are also used to set gain settings in the same way as for spindle axes. Refer to
5.4 Spindle Axis
Gain Selection
.
Orientation can be controlled through latches in the same way as for a standard spindle motor drive. Orienta-
tion can also be performed during operation.
Refer to
5.2 Spindle Axis Orientation
for details on orientation.
Synchronized control between a rotating tool spindle axis and a feed axis can also be performed.
The INTERPOLATE command is used to interpolate between the spindle and feed axes.
Therefore, tapping can be performed with the rotating tool spindle axis and feed axis in the same way as for a
spindle axis.
Refer to
5.3 Tapping Operation
for details on tapping.
