Settings for synchronous operation (synchro_data.*)

In the following figure, the basic principle of the structure of a machine having two machining units with Y-, Z- and C-axis and a mechanically coupled X-axis is shown. If the group of axes (X, Y2, Z2, C2) is to be coupled with the group of axes (X, Y1, Z1, C1) then these are to be found specified in the coupling procedures described in the following paragraphs.

The default coupling specifications for every axis group can be defined. It is introduced into the operating data under the linking number „0”.

CAUTION

The synchronous operation of axes is possible only for axes within an axis group.

The synchronous operation is also described in [PROG].
