No. of basic controlled axes 2 axes
Basic simultaneously controlled axes 2 axes
The axis name must always be X or Z.
Parameter No. 1020 is used to determine the name of each axis.
When this parameter is set to 0 or a character other than the valid
characters is specified, an axis name from 1 to 2 is assigned by default.
Be sure to set the X or Z axis name in parameter No. 1020.
When a default axis name (1 to 2) is used, operation in the MEM mode
and MDI mode is disabled.
If a duplicate axis name is specified in the parameter, operation is enabled
only for the axis specified first.

Combined use of the inch system and the metric system is not allowed.
There are functions that cannot be used between axes with different unit
systems. For the increment system, see the machine tool builder’s
manual.
Maximum stroke = Least command increment 99999999
See 2.3 Incremen System.
NOTE
1 A command which causes the maximum stroke to be
exceeded cannot be specified.
2 The actual stroke varies with the machine.
3 The maximum stroke is the diameter when a diameter is
specified or the radius when a radius is specified.
