The Machine tab serves following purposes:

  • Choose axis type (linear/rotary) and its scale
  • Set motor type and properties
  • Set feedback device types and properties

Parameters

Axis mechanics

Short GUI name GUI name Description How to use
AXT Axis type & units Select axis type and real world units used Choose your mechanical axis type here. AXT and AXS affect only the unit conversion of Granity parameters (such as accel/velocity limit unit conversions), no effect on drive operation.
AXS Axis scale Set axis travel per motor revolution Determine how much your axis moves per revolution and enter it here. I.e. if you have selected Linear[mm] as AXT, then calculate and enter how many millimeters axis moves per revolution. AXT and AXS affect only the unit conversion of Granity parameters (such as accel/velocity limit unit conversions), no effect on drive operation.
