Axis Test
This test verifies axis operation. Conduct this test if there is:
 A runaway axis
 No motion
 Erratic motion
 A high number of position errors
 Multiple parts are not cut the correct size
In order for all axes to pass, the following conditions need to be met.
 You can only test the amount of axes that are enabled on the hardware key (axes installed in Control Information kit).
 If you have a 2-axis CNC, you still have 4 or 6 physical axes
 The test will not allow you to test the other axes. Nothing will happen when you click on the 3 rd /4 th axis connector
for example.
 Axes are tested by their assignment in Phoenix.
 Axis switching, like Dual Transverse, CBH if no 3 rd axis, or Rotate/Tilt on a 4 axis CNC, will fail the axis diagnostic
test.
 If you are not using the 3rd or 4th axis, or have an assignment that puts the axis at 5 and higher in the application,
you can test the hardware by temporarily assigning the 3rd and 4th axes to Sensor THCs.
To test an axis:
1. On the Machine Interface screen, choose the axis port you want to test.
WARNING
To prevent motion on the table, disconnect all axis cables from the CNC before
conducting this test.
