Axis One’s Type :360
linear (a)
rotary (b)
spindle (c)
unfitted (d)
Possible axis types are:
linear -- specifies an axis that moves along a straight line
rotary -- specifies an axis that moves in a circle about a fixed center
spindle -- specifies a spindle that provides position and velocity
feedback
Important: When configuring axes, any motors using a DAC output
(typically the spindles) must be configured as the last axes.
unfitted -- specifies an axis that is not used in the current configuration
of the machine. An unfitted axis can not be moved
4. Select the axis type.
The workstation assigns the selected type to the selected axis, then
returns to the main menu.
