On my 500C I have the 400 mm dia NC-table. (B axis.)
When starting the machine you do the reference search etc etc.
The B-axis function is not always something you use. And if you have something “big” in the machine, the B-axis ref/homing can be a real problem. If, let’s say, you stop machining for the day and like to continue the next. Having both parts/stock and fixtures spinning around, trying to knock everything in its way down, including the machine itself, can be “interesting”.
What’s the best and most convenient way to turn the B-axis off, after of course tramming it in, and then keeping it locket?
Is it as simple as set “Enable axis” MC to 0? (Is there even one?)
Or is it more involved, starting out with setting number of axis and then change other MC as well?
Thanks in advance!
