German term

Hubachse

German to English Tech/Engineering
This occurs in the technical specifications of a device made by a major automobile manufacturer for use in assembling the autos. Specifically, the device is used to assist in inserting the cockpit.

"23: DKC 03 X Achse (wird über Codierschalter am Gerät eingestellt)
24: DKC 03 Y Achse (wird über Codierschalter am Gerät eingestellt)
25: DKC 03 Z Drehachse (wird über Codierschalter am Gerät eingestellt)
26: DKC 03 Z Hubachse (wird über Codierschalter am Gerät eingestellt)
27: DKC 03 Y Kippachse (wird über Codierschalter am Gerät eingestellt)"
(These are Profibus addresses.)

"Alle fünf Achsen X, Y, Z Dreh, Y Dreh und Z Hub werden von INDRAMAT DKC 04.3-040-7-FW mit Profibus Schnittstelle gesteuert.

Zwei Betriebsarten gewährleisten die Bewegungsfunktion der Achsen:

1. Interne Interpolation mit Geber 2 (extern für X,Y,Z-Dreh) und Geber 1 (Motorgeber für Y-Dreh und Z-Hub)
Die Achsen bekommen von der SPS eine Zielposition und eine Geschwindigkeits-vorgabe über Profibus DP und melden der SPS wenn die Zielposition erreicht ist."

F1 : X-Achse

F3 : Z-Achse drehen
F4 : Y-Achse drehen
F5 : Z-Achse Hub

lifting axis

i.e. direction of lift

Kippachse = tilting axis, direction of tilting.

These can be in any direction in 3D space

sorry, the lifting axis can be in any direction above the horizontal plane (i.e. lift). The tilting axis any direction below the horizontal plane.

To Sven
I searched for rotation and translation as you suggested.

http://mathforum.org/sum95/suzanne/symsusan.html gives

Translation
To translate an object means to move it without rotating or reflecting it. Every translation has a direction and a distance.

A particular direction is thus not implied and is generic.

But I think I see what you are getting at: a closer look at the text reveals that the Hub is in the Z direction, where traditionally X = vertical, Y = horizontal and Z is horizontal at right angles to Y. Therefore, it is not above the horizontal plane and not lifting. You are correct in that. Here Hub must mean (horizontal) traverse/stroke. Hmm, difficult.

Perhaps (horizontal) traverse axis (165 googles) is better. I still don\'t think that translational axis is correct (only 98 googles anyway)

Another thought: traverse does imply horizontal movement, translation can be in any direction

Peer comment(s):

disagree Sven Petersson : "lift" implies vertical, which is not supported by source text.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks everyone! "Lifting axis" was what we actually used. John is right that it is an assembly device (though not a fully independent robot), but though may well telescope, it seemed better in the document to refer to what it is for (lifting) than to how it does it."

lifting arbor

or
lifting arm (MW)
or
lifting axle (depending on whether it rotates as well)

disagree Manfred Mondt : these are not axles, but axes (plural) or axis (one), as used in CNC motion controls.

translation axis

Yes, "translation"!
Peer comment(s):

neutral Gillian Scheibelein : this encompasses all movements (lifting, tilting etc.) and is a generic term.

agree Manfred Mondt : OH on the vert. Hubachse only!

neutral Gillian Scheibelein : not necessarily vertical

telescoping axis

The machine involved is obviously an assembly robot. I believe this is the movement that is meant.

The combination: telescoping axis robots find plenty of hits which confirm this.
Peer comment(s):

agree Gillian Scheibelein : best one so far
