Indexing/Dividing Head Controller


Indexing by Degrees Operation

This is the screen presented during the actual operation when indexing by degrees. This particular image shows that the current operation is indexing by 37.5 degrees with motion in the counter-clockwise direction. Note that one indexing step has already been taken; the current position is at -37.485 degrees.

In this particular case, the system cannot position the spindle exactly at the desired position so the controller moves the spindle to the closest possible position resulting in an error of 0.015 degrees.

The "Next" and "Prev" navigation items allow the operator to move to the next and previous positions, respectively. The dividing operation can also be cancelled completely.
