Configuring Axes

3. Type in the number of the axis to delete.
The workstation reclassifies the selected axis as “unfitted” and the
parameters change to their default values.
Important: The axes must be named in a consecutive series, no fitted axes
may follow an unfitted axis. All spindle axes must follow fitted axes. Any
fitted axes that follows an unfitted axis is ignored by the control.
The parameter values of an axis can be copied from one axis to another.
This is a convenient way to set the parameter values for an axis.
Important: When axis parameters are copied from one axis to the next, all
“per axis” parameters are copied from all parameter groups.
To copy an axis to another axis in the open AMP file:
1. Press [F2] to pull down the axis menu.
2. Select the Copy operation.
The workstation displays this screen:
