Question to all having Rotary Axis
« on: January 10, 2010, 10:39:04 PM »
Hi Guys... I have a question... I want to rotate my rotary axis one revolution only after each X/Y move.. Like following

G01 X1 Y1
G01 A360
G01 X2 Y2
G01 A360
.
.
.

Now I want to rotate the A-axis in only one Direction Suppose CLOCKWISE ONLY...
Now i need some explaination for the following?

ROT 360 ROLLOVER - when checked the A axis Dro wll display from 0-360 degrees and then start over at 0.
If not checked the A axis DRO will be additive such that 2 revolutions will display 720 degrees.



In the above, If i give command A360, will it rotate one revolution and become '0'..If yes then this will do my work!!!

ANG SHORT  ROT ON G0-The axis will move in the shortest possible move to a new position, such that if
at 0 degrees and you jogged to 359 deg then it would just rotate   -1 degree.



In Last, Is it possible that the A axis DRO itself become '0' when one rotation of A-axis complete? So that it will prepare for next 360 revolution?

  YES

They both work as you have highlighted. Now only one comment that you should try. Are you in G90 / incremental distance or  G91 / absolute distance mode? As that makes a difference.

EXAMPLE:
G91   ( INCREMENTAL)
G01 A90 F20 ( WILL MOVE TO 90 DEGREES AT THE FEEDRATE )
G01 A90 F20 ( WILL NOW MOVE ANOTHER 90 DEGREES SO YOUR AT 180 )
G01 A180 F20 ( WILL NOW MOVE ANOTHER 180 DEGREES )

Just do your codes in the MDI line and watch the DRO's, or jog the axis in either mode and see what happens.
Place a G90  or G91  on a line ahead of some simple code and see the difference. Play some and you'll be a pro in no
time at all with the experience gained.

As far as the G90 or G91 goes, it's like ice cream, pick your flavor for programing, or get a double dip of both but you decide which is on top. ;)
