This feature a llows the removal of a rotary table or other axis attachment
from a machine. When activated, the control ignores messages that may
occur resulting from the loss of feedback from a removed axis such as
servo e rrors, etc.
Important: This feature removes the selected axis from the control as an
active axis. Any attempt to move the removed axis results in an error.
This means that part programs that use the removed axis name cannot be
executed. Jog moves and MDI commands that attempt to move the
removedaxisalsoresultinanerror.
This feature can be enabled in AMP. The axis must be selected as
“Detached”to be considered removed. Refer to the documentation
supplied by your system installer for the necessary steps involved in
detaching a n axis or physically removing axis hardware from your
machine.
