AXIS SETTINGs
AXIS SETTINGS menu function make the u er to modify etting of the axe parameter .
CNC controller control an independent mechani m of machine which produce relative linear
motion of tool and work piece in three mutually orthogonal direction called X, Y and Z axe .
For AXIS SETTINGS, make change in the parameter di cu ed in thi ection
FOR X-AXIS, Y-AXIS, Z- AXIS : The functioning of 3 linear axe depend on the following parameter .
Make the following etting for all required axe , one by one. The e etting are:
DRIVE: ENABLE/DISABLE: ENABLE/DISABLE is for enabling or disabling the axis
drive. The drive mechanic of CNC machine convert torque provided by the electric
motor into linear motion of the tool head. Step and Diroutput are di abled for the
axi who e drive ha been di abled.
STEP PIN: LO /HIGH: The STEP PIN selects the state of the step pulse given to
drive of tepper motor (connected to axe ). All axe have their dedicated Step output
pin on the control board; however tep pul e width i ame for all the axe . When thi
pin i active high, an active high tep pul e i driven to re pective axi drive. When the
pin i active low, an active low tep pul e i driven to the axi drive.
DIR PIN: LO /HIGH: This DIR PIN selects the state of direction signal given to the
drive of motor attached to axi . All axe have their dedicated Direction output pin on
the control board and axe can have different direction etting according to the job to
be performed. When thi pin i active high, the machine/tool head move in po itive or
negative direction according to the command given in G-code file or by jog key .
And when the pin i active low, machine/tool head move in the oppo ite direction to
the one in active high tate. The direction for X axi on the work bed of the machine
can be either left or right, for Y axi i Back or Front wherea for Z axi i either up or
down. However for rotary axi , it i either clockwi e or anticlockwi e.
FLIPKEY: ENABLE/DISABLE: Thi option invert the working of jogging key .
STEP/MM: STEPS/MM shows the number of steps the motor must turn in order for
the CNC machine to move 1 mm on the particular axi . Thi i machine dependent
and remain ame for a particular axi of machine. Different machine can have
different value of tep /mm. The axe of the machine can have different “ tep/mm”
number.
MM/MIN:It shows the maximum velocity of the axis. Different axe can have
different velocitie . The maximum achievable velocity for all axe i :
Velocity (max) = (2, 00, 000*60) ⁄ (Step ⁄mm)
Step /mm remain fixed for axi . The pul e rate varie in accordance with velocity
(MM/MIN) for particular axi . Maximum achievable pul e rate for all axe i 150 KHz.
MM/SEC²: It is the increment of the processing velocity from initial velocity to the
highe t one for the motor connected to axi . The value of the acceleration i u er
programmable and can vary for all axe . The range of acceleration for all axe i 1 to
99999.
Set all the e parameter for all the axe , individually.
