- Switching between synchronous and independent operation using
synchronization control select signals SYNCx
Use synchronization control select signals SYNCx to switch between
synchronous and independent operation.

(*) 0 may be specified.
SYNC1 is not used, because the X axis is common to heads 1 and 2.
(1) Synchronous operation
To simultaneously perform tool length compensation along the tool
axis for both heads, set SYNC2 to SYNC9 to "1" and specify tool
length compensation along the tool axis (G43.1).
The compensation value calculated using the positions of the master
rotation axes (B and C) is applied to the master linear axes (X, Y, and
Z) and slave linear axes (V and W).
(2) Independent operation
To perform tool length compensation along the tool axis for only one
head, set SYNC2, SYNC4, SYNC6, and SYNC8 (for head 1) or
SYNC3, SYNC5, SYNC7, and SYNC9 (for head 2) to "1" and specify
tool length compensation along the tool axis (G43.1).
When head 1 is selected, the compensation value calculated using the
positions of the head 1 rotation axes (B and C) is applied to the head 1
linear axes (X, Y, and Z).
When head 2 is selected, the compensation value calculated using the
positions of the head 2 rotation axes (J and K) is applied to the head 2
linear axes (X, V, and W).
