9. Rotary axis options

Rotary axis visualization can be:

  • linear: rotary axis position is displayed as a normal linear axis position, only units are different
  • rounded: rounded by the angle corresponding to one rotation

Independently on how the rotary axis position is visualized the user can choose among 3 modes to set the target position.
The modes are set using parameters #5802 for axis A, #5803 for axis B and #5804 for axis C calling G10 L100 P<parameter> V<value>.

The supported modes are described by the following table.

Parameter value Mode Description
0 Rotary axis Roll-over disabled Rotary axis is handled as a linear one.
1 Rotary axis Roll-over

For an incremental command, the tool moves the angle specified in the command.
For an absolute command, the coordinates after the tool has moved are values set in parameter #5801 rounded by the angle corresponding to one rotation.

2 Rotary axis Roll-over & shorter path

For an incremental command, the tool moves the angle specified in the command.
For an absolute command, the coordinates after the tool has moved are values set in parameter #5801 rounded by the angle corresponding to one rotation.
The direction of the movement is the direction in which the final coordinates are closest.

3 Rotary Axis Control

This mode influences a rotary axis movement only for absolute commands.
When this mode is enabled, the sign of the value specified in the command is interpreted as the direction of rotation, and the absolute value of the specified value is interpreted as the coordinates of the target end position.
The target end position is considered modulo the value specified by parameter #5801.

If a mode different from 0 is specified the modulus used for all of them (default 360.0) is stored in parameter #5801.

A-150       ; Actual movement: -150.0    Absolute coordinate rounded visualisation value: 210
A540        ; Actual movement: -30.0     Absolute coordinate rounded visualisation value: 180
A-620       ; Actual movement: -80.0     Absolute coordinate rounded visualisation value: 100
 
G91         ; Set position mode to relative
