7.1 ATTITUDE CONTROL
Overview
Specifying five or more control axes as well as attitude control allows
attitude control of a nozzle with the fourth and fifth axes as rotation
axes, enabling a three-dimensional machine to be configured.
Two types of attitude control are provided according to the shape of
the nozzle head.
<1> Attitude control A (zero-offset head)
<2> Attitude control B (offset head)
CAUTION
The following restrictions are imposed if the attitude
control function is attached. The meanings of the
terms used in the explanation are as follows:
1) The term three-dimensional machine refers to
machines performing attitude control.
2) The term three-dimensional machining refers
to machining by specifying linear axes plus
rotation axes.
3) The term two-dimensional machining refers to
machining by specifying linear axes.
1 The following functions cannot be used in three-dimensional
machining. Use them in two-dimensional machining programs.
- Advanced preview control
- AI contour control
- Laser power control
- Step control
- Edge machine function
- Start-up machining function
- Retry processing function7
2 The following functions cannot be used with three-dimensional
machines:
- High-precision contour control and its related functions
- High-speed laser machining
