Use the axis detach feature to remove (detach) a rotary table or other axis
attachment from a machine. When activated, the control ignores messages,
e.g., servo errors, that occur resulting from the loss of feedback from a
detached axis.

Important: The axis detach feature removes the selected axis from the
control as an active axis. Any attempt to move the detached axis results in
an error. This means that part programs that use the detached axis name
cannot be executed. Jog moves and MDI commands that attempt to move
the detached axis also result in an error.

You enable this feature in AMP. You must select the axis as “detached” to
be considered removed. See the documentation supplied by your system
installer for the steps involved in detaching an axis or physically removing
axis hardware from your machine.
