Function
With the function "Switchable geometry axes" the
geometry axis group configured in the machine data
can be changed from the part program. A channel
axis defined as a synchronized auxiliary axis can
replace any geometry axis.
Example:
A tool slide can be traversed via channel axes X1,
Y1, Z1, Z2. Axes Z1 and Z2 are to be used
alternately as geometry axis Z in the part program.
GEOAX programmed in the part program switches
between the axes.
Following activation, the connection
X1, Y1, Z1 is effective (can be defined in machine
data).

Switches over the geometry axes.
Calls the basic geometry axis configuration
Number of the geometry axis (n=1, 2 or 3) to be
assigned to another channel axis.
n=0: Remove the specified channel axis from the
geometry axis group without replacing it.
Name of the channel axis to be included in the gantry
axis grouping.
