"Imaginary Axis" Function

At a Glance

The "Imaginary Axis" function is carried out by channels 9 to 12 of the TSX CSY 84 module and by channels 1 to 16 of the TSX CSY 164 module.

An imaginary axis is not a physical axis but it can be used to co-ordinate the movement of several physical axes or it can also be the master axis of a slave axis group. It may also be used to test a system without moving the axis.
