原点出し完了 return to origin(home position) complete Explanation: There is a possibility that the term "原点出し(GENTEN DASHI"actually means "原点復帰(GENTEN FUKKI")". i.e. return to the zero/home position or origin. |

原点出し完了 the original point has been detected Explanation: ..... indicates that the original point has been detected. Here, "出し(出す)" is "detect" or "find." |

原点出し完了 find, calculate Explanation: I'm not sure about your specific case, but a machine I worked with had various XYZ reference frames and it was often useful to find the global origin or local origin. We also used to create local origins based on the geometry of work pieces. We had buttons that would give the center points of circles, or the mid point between parallel lines. They were all labelled ***点出し. Pretty much the machine would move physically and detect geometry, or for the origin of the machine it would detect the XYZ upper and lower limits. It would then calculate the center points or the origin internally. It was an iterative procedure that was performed a number of times. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 hrs 47 mins (2004-06-18 11:34:41 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Just a few googled examples for ¥"find the home position¥". http://www.ieap.uni-kiel.de/plasma/ag-stroth/info/Betriebsan... http://www.umax.co.uk/support/service/mech.htm http://www.noao.edu/usgp/nicicdr/SDN4002_NICI_mechanism_cont... |

原点出し完了 end of travel Explanation: This is a guess based on the structure of the phrase and the context provided. The following is the definition of a limit sensor from the glossary referenced below. Could this be what the document refers to? "Limits Properly designed motion control systems have sensors called limits that alert the control electronics that the physical end of travel is being approached and that motion should stop. " Reference: http://www.microkinetics.com/glossary.html |

原点出し完了 Origin Explanation: See Reference, page 10/14 and 14/14. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days 2 hrs 39 mins (2004-06-20 01:26:51 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Correction: \"seek home,\" which is one of selected modes of operation. See Reference, page 125/145. http://www2.danahermotion.com/resource/documents/manuals/750... Reference: http://www.robotics.jp/download/manual/fics/1997/f21intro.pd... |

原点出し完了 return to home position complete Explanation: In the old day--caveat utilitor--of mechanical servo mechanism, the sensors were for detecting when something was at the "origin" of an axis, rotation, whatever. Positioning involved counting steps from that "home position". Digital servo technology has changed all that. As Andrew points out, it is now possible to measure the current position and use dynamic origins instead of static ones. The chief result is greater accuracy. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 56 mins (2004-06-18 00:43:28 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Whether 原点出し and 原点復帰 refer to different terms is for you decide. On my left hand is yet another Japanese text that uses two (or sometimes more) slightly different terms for the same thing. Committee writing at work. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 days (2004-06-22 23:38:09 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Re: use dynamic origins instead of static ones Thanks to the responder who reminded me of that unused word ¥"seek.¥" Return implies a static origin. |
