7.2 Traversing positioning axes (POS, POSA, POSP, FA, WAITP,
WAITMC)
Function
Positioning axes are traversed independently of the path axes at a separate, axis-specific
feedrate. There are no interpolation commands. The
traverse the positioning axes and coordinate the motion sequences at the same time.
The following are typical examples of positioning axes:
● Pallet feed equipment
● Gauging stations
WAITP
an axis programmed with
WAITMC
Syntax
POS[<axis>]=<position>
POSA[<axis>]=<position>
POSP[<axis>]=(<end position>,<partial length>,<mode>)
FA[<axis>]=<value>
WAITP(<axis>)
WAITMC(<wait marker>)

can be used to identify a position in the NC program where the program is to wait until
POSA
loads the next NC block immediately when the specified wait marker is received.
; Programming in a separate NC block.
POS
in a previous NC block reaches its end position.
