10.FUNCTION FOR THREE-DIMENSIONAL PROCESSING SYSTEM B-63192EN/03
- 64 -
(1) Mode selection
In automatic operation, the nozzle tip fixed mode automatically
occurs.
In manual operation, an external signal can be used to switch
between nozzle tip fixed mode and independent axis mode.
(2) Independent axis mode
This is the mode that the commanded axis performs only the
rotation operation if α axis or β axis is commanded.
According to the command, if α axis or β axis rotates, because
the tip position of the nozzle changes, change the coordinate
values of the relative coordinate system and workpiece
coordinate system by the changed X, Y, Z coordinate value
amounts, and match the nozzle tip position and the coordinate
system.
(3) Nozzle tip fixed mode
This is the mode that the nozzle tip position becomes the
rotational center, and the commanded axis performs the rotation
operation by means of simultaneously moving the linear axes X,
Y, Z after rotating the commanded axis if α axis or β axis is
commanded.
According to the command, if α axis or β axis rotates, because
the tip position of the nozzle changes, move each X, Y, Z axis by
the changed X, Y, Z coordinate value amounts, and return the
nozzle tip position to its original position.
At this time, the relative coordinate system of X, Y, Z axes and
the workpiece coordinate system are not affected, but the
machine coordinate system X, Y, Z axes are affected.
