2 – Machine Setup
Dual Gantry Axis
The following setup screen is available when you have selected Dual Gantry on the Machine Setups screen.
The Dual Gantry Axis is commanded as a separate axis on the CNC that mirrors the output of the main Rail axis.
Additionally, performance of the Dual Gantry Axis is compared to the main Rail Axis and additional output command is
given to keep the axis in position.
The definitions for the setup parameters are the same as for the Transverse/Rail Axes. However, the number of selections
are reduced because features for overtravels and homing do not apply.
Speed 0 To: This parameter allows the technician to input selected speed ranges to customize the gains for the various
speeds selected.
 These speed parameters are directly tied to the Speed To field for the acceleration rates
previously noted on the Speeds setup screen. Changing these speed parameters will
replace the Speed To values entered at the Speeds setup screen.
Proportional Gain: Proportional Gain correlates to Elastic Stiffness in the control loop. Increasing the proportional gain
increases the static stiffness, but decreases response of the servo loop.
Under proportional loop control the drive system will apply a restoring torque to the motor in proportion the
position error of the axis.
