5. OPERATION
5.6.7 Dog type rear end reference home position return
POINT
This home position return method depends on the timing of reading Proximity
dog (DOG) that has detected the rear end of a proximity dog. Hence, if a
home position return is made at the creep speed of 100r/min, an error of
400 pulses will occur in the home position. The error of the home position is
larger as the creep speed is higher.
The position where the axis, which had started decelerating at the front end of a proximity dog, has moved the
after-proximity dog moving distance and home position shift distance after it passed the rear end is defined as
a home position. A home position return that does not depend on the Z-phase signal can be made.
