Controlled Axes

Axes are used to represent the linear or rotational electro-mechanical structure that generates movements such as left-right, forward-backward, or up-down in a CNC machine. Metric or inch systems can be preferred for axis control.

Pulser3 series control units can control up to 8 axes. The first three axes are defined as X, Y, and Z. Three-dimensional movements can be performed on these axes. The axes that rotate along the vertical lines of the X, Y, and Z axes are named A, B, and C, respectively. Additional axes parallel to or auxiliary to the X, Y, and Z axes are named U, V, and W, respectively. In lathe machines, if the U, V, and W axes are not present, these axis names are used as additive commands for the X, Y, and Z axes.

The unit of measurement for rotary axes is degrees.
