Prerequisite

SIMOTION SCOUT has been started.

The user knows how to apply the SIMOTION SCOUT program.

7.4.1 Flying saw axis

Configuration

•

Insert a new axis with the name FlyingSawAxis

• Parameterize the axis as synchronous axis

• Set the axis type as linear

• Parameterize as modulo axis with a modulo length greater than the

maximum traversing distance (this is monitored from the FlyingSaw-FB

Æ “parameterizing error”)

• All of the additional parameters should be set corresponding to the drive

and encoder data.

Mechanical system

•

For the parameter “distance for each spindle revolution” enter the

distance that the knife tip of the “flying saw” moves through for one

motor revolution.

• Appropriately supplement the other parameters as well as geometry

and design.

Pre-assignment

•

Please enter this parameter corresponding to the drive dynamic

performance.

Limits

•

Please enter these parameters corresponding to the system layout and

configuration.

Referencing (homing)

•

Please enter these parameters corresponding to the encoder

(the template assumes a referenced/homed axis). If an incremental

encoder is used, it is necessary to reference/home the axis in

mode 4

“Manual”

before additional operating modes are selected. )
