Transformation with gapping axis (P-CHAN-00213)

For the use of cartesian or kinematic transformation a gap free axes configuration is expected. At selection of transformation the CNC checks whether in the current configuration the required number of axes without gaps is available. If necessary, an inserted simulation axis can complete the axes configuration.

In some special cases it's also necessary to allow gapping axes configurations (e.g. a tool head without a physical Z slide). For example, an axes configuration with gaps can be identified by the "non-linear" sequence of axes indices within the axes exchange command (see programming example below).

Gap free axes configuration by NC command:

#SET AX[X, 1, 0][Y, 2, 1][Z, 3, 2][C, 4, 3] 

Axes configuration with gaps by NC command:

#SET AX[X, 1, 0][Y, 2, 1][C, 4, 3]
