The XZA-Woodturning interface incorporates an A-axis, which is controlled via G-code. This axis is essential for complex operations and allows for rotational movements around the X-axis. In this setup, the A-axis functions as a pivotal component in controlling how the workpiece is manipulated, enabling precise angular cuts and detailed profiling.
In this machine, the controller plays a critical role by sending pulses and direction signals to the A-axis. This allows for exact control over the rotation, aligning the movements meticulously with the G-code instructions to produce precise and intricate designs.
