Variaxis i630 matrix

[Tcoelho]

Hi, 

I work with mazak variaxis i630 and i use m-codes for clamp and unclamp A and C axis (M43 and M46 for unclamp and M44 and M47 for clamp) but when the axis are clamping they move if the program request.

If it is locked you should not touch it...

Anyone help me?

Clamping and unclamping is not for locking out rotaries. This function is for full 5x programs. As default the machine is in a clamped state. If you command a rotary move the rotary unclamps, moves to the designated position, and reclamps. If you wanted to make a full 5x cut this would be a problem as the machine would unclamp and clamp on every line with a rotary move in it. So, to create smooth 5x motion unclamping the table until you're done with 5x, then reclamping is what is required. Do not try to use this as a lockout system! It is not what it is intended to be used for.
