Machine Definition Command
In order to define the basic machine type and its axes, the following GPP2 statement is used:
DEFINE_MACHINE <type> <primary-axis> <secondary-axis> ;
The machine <type> should be one of the following predefined types:
|
TABLE_TABLE TABLE_HEAD HEAD_HEAD |
Use for 5X machines, table-table Use for 5X machines, table-head or 4X machines, table Use for 5X machines, head-head or 4X machines, head |
The primary and secondary axes should be one of the predefined axes listed above.
Examples (only the parameters to the command are shown):
|
TABLE_TABLE A5X_PX A5X_PZ |
TABLE_TABLE A5X_MYPZ A5X_PZ |
|
|
|
|
TABLE_HEAD A5X_PX A5X_MYMZ |
TABLE_HEAD A5X_PZ A5X_MYMZ |
|
|
|
|
HEAD_HEAD A5X_MY A5X_MYMZ |
HEAD_HEAD A5X_PZ A5X_PX |
|
|
|
Note the last head-head machine. The alpha axis is defined as +Z (A5X_PZ) although it looks like -Z (as it points down). As mentioned before, with Z axes, you should always use the +Z direction (and reverse the axis if necessary).
