Dear all,
How can I add more axis when using the SKH app, for example for a rotary tool axis ?
Is this possible in the app or can I manualy add the extra axis in the motion app and afterwards program it in the IDE program ?
Best regards

Hi Servodude,
it is possible and easy to integrate rotating axes into "Smart Function Kit for Handling" as long as they can be controlled by binary (true/false, or high/low) I/O signals. For example, after positioning to (X,Y,Z) you can set one or more output signals to high/low or send a train of signals that codes a signal for the rotating axis, which in turn acknowledges or answers in a similar way. However, integrating a rotating axis that works synchronously with the linear axes or needs numerical input (for example for positioning the rotating axis not only to a set of predefined angles or steps but to any possible angle) is much more complex and normally can't be done without software changes.
I hope this helps,
