Editing the axis labels on custom cnc machine

[Philip Venter]

HI All.

I have a custom machine with the following info.

Acorn 4 CNC 12 pro licence
machine use the following axis:

Z (linear) and (C) rotational
X (linear) and (A) rotational.

The graphic display indicate the following labels X Y Z C

How can I edit the "Y" label to indicate "A"

Just for clarity the axis is correctly calibrated and configured in the wizard as a rotational axis the labelling is just wrong.

Looking forward to your comments.

Hi Philip,
In the Wizard, under Axis - Configuration, you should see your Axes. Set the Labels under the Label drop down. Choose the label "N" if you want to hide an Axis, set the Axis labeled "Y" to "A" to reflect the change you wanted to make.

With 4.80 for a mill, you can only select A and C for the 4th axis...

Rotation about the Y axis is B. About the X is A. C is rotation around the Z axis and is really not needed on the mill where you can interpolate X and Y.

If I mount my rotary vertical (makes more close to perfect circles around the rotary axis) it would be a C-Axis, but I use it with A-axis label as usual...
