General information

Applications
This attachment enables exact workspindle positioning to a defined angular position
that is predefined by an indexing plate with 2.5-pitch. Moreover the workspindle
can be indexed by 2.5° each or a multiple thereof. Positioning precision is ± 5
minutes.

In combination with the rotating turret tools drive, machining processes can be
performed in which surfaces or drill holes must have a definite position relative to
each other or to the workpiece shape.

The workspindle locating and indexing attachment can also be used to machine
workpieces with asymmetrical shapes, because manual clamping of such workpieces
is easier with located workspindle.

With automatic feeding of asymmetrical workpieces by means of magazine or

manipulator systems, workpsindle locating is an insdispensible precondition.

For programming information see "Manual programming C200-4, chapter:

Programming fundamentals."

Design and function

At the end of the workspindle, an indexing plate is mounted on the spindle. Fixing
is performed by means of an hydraulically operated cylinder, the piston of which
has the shape of an indexing bolt. Indexing bolt positions are being monitored.

The indexing bolt casing can be adjusted enabling an exact alignment of workspindle
position. If the 0°- position of the workspindle was corrected, the angular position
of the pulse emitter that passes-on the actual workspindle position data to the
control unit, must be verified too and set to the new workspindle 0°-position.

After the positioning procedure was triggered by the Mx=19 Sx=yyy. command,
the control unit searches for the programmed angular position in low spindle
speed mode. If this position is reached, the hydraulically operated indexing bolt
engages the indexing plate by means of commmand Mx=12, and keeps the
workspindle fixed in the aligned position. If several workspindle positions are
programmed, the positioning procedure described above will be repeated.

With active G96 command(constant cutting speed), workspindle alignment is not

possible, and therefore the active constant cutting speed (G96) function must be
deactivated via command G95 prior to positioning process triggering by Mx=19.

Positioning possibilities
Standard equipment comprises an indexing plate with index positions in 2.5°
distance from each other. It allows selection of any position in the 2.5° index grid
between 0°and 357,5° in any sequence with a precision of ± 5 minutes. For
machining processes requiring access to positons outside this 2.5°-grid, the C-axis
is needed.
