2.2. Servo tool parameter setting
Manages the axis specification and servo tool number of each servo motor including the additional number when changing

Figure 2.2 Servo Tool parameter Setting
(1) Axial specification
Selects the specification of the change axis. Can select one among <Servo gun, Positioner, Jig>
(2) Axial configuration
Selects whether the configuration of the axis for the change is “Linear” or “Circular”
(3) Servo gun/Positioner/Jig Numbers
Sets the numbers for the axis specification.
There should be a 1:1 correspondence between the servo tool parameter and the servo gun/positioner/jig numbers. Accordingly, the same numbers for the servo guns/positioner/jig numbers can not be set for mutually different servo tool parameters.
Just set to 0 if there is no more servo tool to be set.
(4) Additional axis number
Sets the number of the additional axis to be controlled when connecting or disconnecting. If the axial configuration is for the servo gun, the additional axis number set at the ‘Tool No. corresponding to Gun No., and gun-type set’ will be set automatically. Users need to carry out the setting in case of positioner/jig axes. When multiple positioners/jigs are needed to be changed for one additional axis, it is required to register the servo tool parameter to as many as the number of positioners that will be changed.
※ Example of usage
The following setting shows the axis specification to be used for each servo tool and the servo gun/positioner/jig number including the additional axis number.
- P1, P2, P3: Servo to be changed also for additional axis #1
- G1, G3, G5: Servo tool to be changed for additional axis #2
- G2, G4: Servo tool to be changed for additional axis #3
To be changed | Axis specification | Axis configuration | Servo gun/Jig numbers | Additional axis number |
1. Servo tool | Servo gun | Linear | G1 | 2 |
2. Servo tool | Servo gun | Linear | G2 | 3 |
3. Servo tool | Positioner | Linear | P1 | 1 |
4. Servo tool | Servo gun | Linear | G3 | 2 |
5. Servo tool | Servo gun | Linear | G4 | 3 |
6. Servo tool | Positioner | Linear | P2 | 1 |
7. Servo tool | Positioner | Linear | P3 | 1 |
8. Servo tool | Servo gun | Linear | G5 | 2 |
The following shows the application of the parameters of the additional axes and servo tools in the actual servo tool change system.
