Traversing An Indexing Axis To The Reference Point - Siemens SINUMERIK 840C Installation Instructions Manual

06.93
12.13.5
If the function is used machine-specifically, the indexing axis can be traversed to an
indexing-specific reference point. The distance between a zero mark and an indexing position
can be defined in MD "Reference point offset". The indexing axis does not have to be
traversed through a reference point to an indexing position. The axis is automatically traversed
to an indexing position on the next traversing movement after a reference point approach.
Example:
Linear axis;
Reference point
Reference point offset
Illegal
range
NC MD 244* should be preset as follows for machine-specific division:
MD 244*
If the function is used workpiece related, an indexing axis should be set as described above
in order to arrive at the defined division conditions. If the reference dimension, number of
divisions or the indexing axis are altered during machining, the actual division reference value
is lost.
Note:
The illegal range (indexing position < 1) must no be selected as the reference point.
