Programming
The #SYNC IN command indicates that the following machining operations are carried out in the moving coordinate system of the workpiece. The synchronisation movement is only started by the next motion block. Synchronisation takes place with the coordinates programmed in the motion block in the co-moving PCS1.
The target point is simultaneously approached in multiple axes with a PTP motion. In general, the axes do not reach the target at the same time.
Syntax : |
#SYNC IN [ [CONVEYOR=..] CONV_VEL=.. [VEL_RESOLUTION=[<m/min>, <m/s>, <mm/min>, <mm/s>, <um/min>, <um/s>]] [FEED_CONT=..] FEED_CONT_AUTO ] |
CONVEYOR=.. | The axis designated for synchronisation is defined by the CONVEYOR parameter. The axis name must be specified. If CONVEYOR is not specified, the axis with the logical axis number in P-CHAN-00362 is used. |
CONV_VEL=.. | Programmed command velocity of the conveyor axis in [mm/min]. The velocity specified is used in the CNC to control whether the conveyor axis is moved at the required velocity. If the actual velocity is 10% higher than specified, error ID 50653 is output.. If a higher velocity than the maximum permissible velocity of the machine in the conveying direction is programmed, error ID 50587 is output. |
VEL_RESOLUTION | Optional value of velocity resolution. The following resolutions are provided: m/min, m/s, mm/min, mm/s, um/min ad um/s. If the parameter is not specified, the velocity is interpreted as mm/min by default. This parameter only acts on the individual command and does not act globally for the following commands. |
FEED_CONT=.. | Definition of the relative velocity in [mm/min] used to terminate synchronisation and start contour machining. If FEED_CONT is not specified, synchronisation is performed at conveyor velocity. The relative velocity between the workpiece and the tool is 0. |
FEED_CONT_AUTO | Identifier for synchronisation at the maximum permissible dynamic relative velocity. |
 | The movements below after the #SYNC OUT command are listed in the machine coordinate system. |
Syntax : |
|
#SYNC OUT [ [FEED_CONT=..] FEED_CONT_AUTO ] | |
FEED_CONT=.. | Definition of the relative velocity in [mm/min] used to terminate desynchronisation. If FEED_CONT is not specified, the desynchronisation movement terminates at velocity 0. |
FEED_CONT_AUTO | Identifier for synchronisation at the maximum permissible dynamic relative velocity. |
| If you want to synchronise directly with a new workpiece on-the-fly without desynchronisation, the NC commands #SYNC IN/OUT must be programmed again with the appropriate parameters followed by a motion block. |
Independent movement after #SYNC OUT
Syntax : |
<axis_name> [ INDP_SYN | INDP_ASYN G00 | G01 POS=.. FEED=.. INTERRUPTIBLE ] |
<axis_name> | Name of the axis to be moved in the MCS coordinate system after desynchronisation |
INDP_SYN | Identifier for synchronous (blockwise) independent axis motion. The transition to the next block is only executed when all axes have reached their end positions. Must always be programmed as first keyword. |
INDP_ASYN | Identifier for asynchronous (cross-block) independent axis motion. There is no synchronisation to end positions. Must always be programmed as first keyword. |
G00/G01 | Rapid traverse/linear interpolation |
POS=:: | Axis position in [mm, inch] |
FEED2=.., | Axis-specific feed rate in [mm/min] |
INTERRUPTIBLE | Identifier that this movement is interruptible. |
| INTERRUPTIBLE in conjunction with INDP_ASYN is ignored. |
The program example below shows the full sequence for machining a moving workpiece. It includes reading the measured value for the machined workpiece, synchronisation, machining the workpiece followed by desynchronisation and positioning.
