Hello everyone, new to this forum! I'm asking for advice on the synchronization between a rotary and a linear servo. Let's say, if the linear motor moves 20 mm the rotary one should turn 10 times (3600 degrees). It's a very similar situation to this thread. So there's 2 points to consider:   1. Can I perform linear interpolation if the rotary motor is working with modulo (from 0° to 360°)? How should I write the MC_MoveLinear parameters in order to achieve that with more than one turn, that is, target position beyond the modulo range? 2. I've also considered using electronic gearing, which would make my life easier with calculations, but if there's any type of delay between the servos (aka catching phase of the MC_GearIn) it could result in tool breakage. Is there a way to use electronic gearing while guaranteeing both acceleration and deceleration stay in sync?   The CPU I'm working with is the NX1P2-1040. Any advice is appreciated, thanks in advance!

Hi everyone! I am currently using both Motion controller Q172DSCPU and Simple motion controller QD77MS for my application. I spent time for Advance synchronous control with Motion controller QD172DSCPU. However, I wonder that is there any solution to combine synchronous control and interpolation control? For example, I need controlling 4 axes consisting of 3 axes for helical interpolation and 1 axis for linear position control. The problem is that all 4 axes start and complete position at the same time. Does anybody have experience in this? please share your ideas. Thanks in advanced.
