TwinCAT NC Flying Saw

“Flying saw” generally stands for synchronisation of a slave axis with a moving master axis. The master axis can be a real axis, a virtual axis, or some other external source of actual values.

The PLC library contains blocks for programming this “flying saw” function under TwinCAT NC.

• synchronisation of the slave axis from any motion situation (stop, forward or reverse travel) with the master in motion
• simple synchronisation with the master velocity
• precise position synchronisation with the master axis (velocity and position)
• synchronous velocity can be set via a coupling factor
• optional return prevention as additional safety function
• superimposed section compensation during the synchronous phase for dynamic position correction
