Easy and automatic phase matching

C-axis Torque Skip

Here is how to get C-axis zero offsets: by mounting a stopper on the turret,
and having it contact a keyway or notch, to read the C-axis torque fluctuations.

  1. Production floor issues
    Fixtures and gauging required
    blank material phase matching
    • ・A cutting reference for a phase direction requires phase matching for each workpiece.
    • ・Phase adjusting required when mounting blanks, causes accuracy variances per operator setup.
    • ・We can’t buy expensive in-process gauging just for doing zero offsets.
  2. User benefits
    Easy phase setting without
    measuring devices
    • ・Eliminate fixture- and operator-related mount errors.
    • ・Eliminate fixture-related phase matching.
    • ・Eliminate in-process gauging.

Auto phase settings by the stopper contacting the cutting reference

C-axis zero offsets can be set in-machine by having the stopper contact the cutting reference. When a workpiece has a keyway, reciprocating CW/CCW rotation will index the C-axis zero offset position by the load on the C axis.
