Setting-up the required technology objects

Prerequisite

SIMOTION SCOUT has been started.

The user knows how to apply the SIMOTION SCOUT program.

7.4.1 Flying

saw

axis

Configuration
• Insert a new axis with the name FlyingSawAxis
• Parameterize the axis as synchronous axis
• Set the axis type as linear
• Parameterize

as

modulo axis

with a modulo length greater than the

maximum traversing distance (this is monitored from the FlyingSaw-FB
Æ “parameterizing error”)

• All of the additional parameters should be set corresponding to the drive

and encoder data.

Mechanical system
• For the parameter “distance for each spindle revolution” enter the

distance that the knife tip of the “flying saw” moves through for one
motor revolution.

• Appropriately supplement the other parameters as well as geometry

and design.

Pre-assignment
• Please enter this parameter corresponding to the drive dynamic

performance.

Limits
• Please enter these parameters corresponding to the system layout and

configuration.

Referencing (homing)
• Please enter these parameters corresponding to the encoder

(the template assumes a referenced/homed axis). If an incremental
encoder is used, it is necessary to reference/home the axis in mode 4
“Manual”

before additional operating modes are selected. )
