Electronic gear box automatic phase synchronization
Overview
In the electronic gear box (EGB), when synchronization start or cancellation
is specified, if synchronization is started or canceled immediately, this
sudden speed change shocks a machine.
Instead, the synchronizing state is changed to another state gradually by
applying acceleration/deceleration. Therefore, synchronization can be started
or canceled while the spindle is rotating.
Also, synchronization ratio can be changed while the spindle is rotating.
At synchronization start, automatic phase synchronization is performed such
that the workpiece axis position matches the position corresponding to the
spindle one–rotation signal. With this synchronization, the same operation is
performed as synchronization start caused by a one–rotation signal in
hobbing synchronization when using the functions of a hobbing machine.
The spindle corresponds to the EGB master axis and the workpiece axis
corresponds to an EGB slave axis (Servo axis or Cs contouring axis).

1. Specify G81R1 to start synchronization.

When G81R1 is specified, the workpiece axis is accelerated with the
acceleration according to the acceleration rate set in the parameter
(No.7778). When the speed reaches the synchronization speed, the
EGB mode signal, SYNMOD, becomes "1" and the G81R1 block
terminates.
2. For cancellation, specify G80R1 while the tool is moved away from the
workpiece.
3. When G80R1 is specified, the EGB mode signal becomes "0" and
deceleration is started immediately at the acceleration rate set in
parameter No. 7778.
When the speed is reduced to 0, the G80R1 block is terminated.

Draw
A-79469E
No.

NOTE
1 During synchronization start/cancellation,
acceleration/deceleration is linear type.
2 In the automatic cancellation of synchronization due
to one of the following causes, deceleration is
performed and synchronization is canceled:
<1> Reset
<2> PW0000 (POWER MUST BE OFF)
<3> IO alarm
3 If EFX, bit 0 of parameter No. 7731, is 0, the
canned cycle for drilling cannot be used. To use
the canned cycle for drilling, set EFX, bit 0 of
parameter No. 7731, to 1 and use G81.4 instead of
G81 and G80.4 instead of G80.

Deceleration
1. Move the workpiece axis to the position that corresponds to that of the
one-rotation signal of the spindle.
2. Specify G81R2 to start synchronization.
When G81R2 is specified, the workpiece axis is accelerated with the
acceleration according to the acceleration rate set in the parameter
(No.7778). When the speed reaches the synchronization speed, phase
synchronization is performed automatically. Upon completion of
phase synchronization, the EGB mode signal SYNMOD becomes "1"
and the G81R2 block terminates.
3. For cancellation, specify G80R2 while the tool is moved away from the
workpiece.
4. When G80R2 is specified, the EGB mode signal becomes "0" and
deceleration is started immediately at the acceleration rate set in
parameter No. 7778.
When the speed is reduced to 0, the G80R2 block is terminated.

Draw
A-79469E
No.

CAUTION
1 In automatic phase synchronization, specify the
speed in parameter No.7776 and the movement
direction in parameter PHD, bit 7 of No. 7702.
2 In phase synchronization, rapid–traverse linear
acceleration/deceleration (with the time constant
specified in parameter No. 1620) is performed.
3 The workpiece–axis speed is obtained by
superimposing the speed in automatic phase
synchronization onto the speed corresponding to
spindle rotation. In consideration of this
superimposition, specify a position deviation limit in
parameter No. 1828.
NOTE
1 The one–rotation signal used for automatic phase
synchronization is issued not by the spindle position
coder but by the separate pulse coder attached to
the spindle and used to collect EGB feedback
information. This means that the orientation position
based on the one–rotation signal issued by the
spindle position coder does not match the position
used as the reference for the workpiece axis when
phase synchronization is performed with automatic
phase synchronization based on G81R2.
Moreover, the one–rotation signal of the separate
pulse coder must be turned on for each rotation of
the spindle.
2 With the use of parameter No.7777, the position at
which the phase of the workpiece axis is matched
can be shifted from the position corresponding to
the one–rotation signal in automatic phase
matching.
3 When a synchronization command is issued again
in a synchronization state, automatic phase
synchronization movement is as follows.
Workpiece axis is moved to the position specified
frst in the G81R2 synchronization start command
corresponding to the one–rotation signal of the
master spindle axis.

Draw
A-79469E
No.

4 In automatic phase synchronization, movement is
performed about the workpiece axis from the
current position to the nearest phase position in the
phase synchronization movement direction
specified by the parameter.
5 Linear acceleration/deceleration applies to
synchronization start/cancellation.
6 The acceleration/deceleration plus automatic phase
synchronization type can be executed by the PHS
parameter, bit 6 of No.7702, without specifying an
R2 command in a G81 or G80 block.
7 In the automatic cancellation of synchronization due
to one of the following causes, deceleration is
performed and synchronization canceled:
<1> Reset
<2> PW0000 (POWER MUST BE OFF)
<3> IO alarm
8 This item is for spindle EGB. If the control mode of
the master axis is the speed control, it is necessary
to execute the position coder orientation before that
the automatic phase synchronization is started. In
this case, RFCHK3 (PRM4016#7) of the master
axis must be set ”0” to keep memorizing the
one–rotation signal position of the spindle in the
speed control mode.
9 This item is for spindle EGB. If the control mode of
the master axis is Cs contouring, it is necessary to
execute the reference point return before the
automatic phase synchronization is started.
10 The acceleration rate parameter (No.7778) must
not be changed in the synchronization mode.
11 If parameter No. 7778 is 0, alarm PS1598 is issued
when G81 is issued.
12 For Series 16i, the speed and the time constant for
automatic phase synchronization are set separately
in parameters Nos. 2135 and 2136(Nos. 4384 and
4385 when spindle EGB is used). For Series 30i,
acceleration is directly set in parameter No. 7778.
13 If EFX, bit 0 of parameter No. 7731, is 0, the
canned cycle for drilling cannot be used. To use
the canned cycle for drilling, set EFX, bit 0 of
parameter No. 7731, to 1 and use G81.4 instead of
G81 and G80.4 instead of G80.

About the direction of the rotation (This item is for spindle EGB.)
The EGB automatic phase synchronization is made on the premise that the
rotation direction of the slave axis is the same as that of the master axis.
Refer to the following chart.

When this function is used, the SFR/SRV function in Cs contouring mode

(*) can not be used. If you want to change the rotary direction of the master
axis, you should change the sign of the master axis command.
(*) The SFR/SRV function in Cs contouring mode

This function is that the signal SFR/SRV decides the rotary direction
of the spindle in the Cs contouring mode.
