6.2 Group Combination

6.2
Group Combination
The group combination in a coordinated job is to specify two group axes to be coordinated.
The master-slave relationship must be assigned between two group axes.
When executing a coordinated instruction, the slave side executes relative interpolation on the
tool coordinate system of the master side. A group combination is set at the registration of
new job name.
When a coordinated job is taught, as shown below, a move instruction is normally displayed in
two lines: the first line is for slave side, and the second line marked with “+” is for master side.
6.3
Coordinated and Individual Interpolations
Two types of operation are available for a coordinated job.
6.3.1
Coordinated Interpolation
The coordinated interpolation is performed by two group axes in a master-slave relationship.
The slave executes a relative interpolation on the tool coordinate system of the master side.
This feature is used in works that require coordinating to the movement of workpiece.
