The following operations can be performed by using the
synchronization functions together with the parking function, which
causes move commands for an axis to be ignored and keeps the axis at
a rest.
(1) Moving an axis in one path in synchronization with an axis in the
other path (Both master and slave axes move.)
Example 1)
Synchronizing the Z2-axis (slave) with the Z1-axis (master)
(machining with both ends of a workpiece chucked)

and Z1-axes (slave) (balanced cutting)
