3 "Axis" Technology Object
3.3 Synchronous axis (TO_SynchronousAxis)
axes is thus not necessary. However, it has to be made sure that setpoint
jumps are avoided when the simulation is cancelled. At this point the slave and
master axis should be standing above the position defined via the synchronous
relationship.
3.3.2

Fields of application

The synchronous axis technology object is used for applications, in which there is a
linear or non-linear position relationship between two axes.
The synchronous axis presents the slave axis that performs a motion depending on
the current position of a slave axis.
3.3.3

Application

This technology object can be used, for example, for the following applications:

Synchronous traversing of two non-mechanically coupled axes, for example, in
extruders or in a gantry array.

Execution of a non-linear motion profile depending on a master axis, for
example, for a material feed for a press.

Movable processing steps, such as, for example, with flying shears.

Synchronous or position-dependent processing steps, such as, for example,
with a cross cutter.
