1. AXIS CONTROL
174
The T series CNC has two independent control paths. For example, it can
be used to control two turrets of a multiple–turret lathe independently.
The axes (such as X1–and Z1–axes) belonging to path 1 are controlled by
commands in path 1, and the axes (such as X2– and Z2–axes) belonging
to path 2 are controlled by commands in path 2.
Turret 1
Machining is performed by
a path 2 program.
