[2] Position Adjustment of Synchro-Axis Sliders
The positions of synchro-axis sliders are adjusted (Adjustment of parallelization between two
physical axes)
�
(1) With the axes and controller not connected by cables (controller power is off), adjust the
relative positioning of the master axis and slave axis and couple the axes.
(2) If position adjustment cannot be performed with the axes and controller not connected by
cables (when a brake is equipped, etc.), follow the steps below:
1) Decouple the sliders and connect the axes and controller using cables.
2) Record the settings in “Each Axis Parameter No. 65 Synchronizing Mating Axis Number”
of the master axis and slave axis. (Make a record so the settings can be put back to the
initial ones in the process later.)
3) Enter “0” for both the master axis and slave axis in “Axis-specific parameter No. 65,
Mating synchro-axis number,” in order to temporarily disable the synchro function. Then,
select [Transfer to Controller] � [Write to Flash ROM] � [Restart Controller] (software
reset).
4) Have the absolute reset conducted on the master axis and slave axis individually.�
[Refer to 4.2.1 How to Absolute Reset on Single and Cartesian Axes]
5) Adjust the relative slider positions via jog operation, etc., and couple the sliders.
6) To enable the synchro function again, enter the values of the master axis and slave axis
recorded in step 2 in “Axis-specific parameter No. 65, Mating synchro-axis number.” Then,
select [Transfer to Controller] � [Write to Flash ROM] � [Restart Controller] (software
reset).
