9. SPINDLE SPEED FUNCTION
1225
In simple spindle synchronous control mode, the second spindle can be
controlled as a slave axis of the first spindle.
Therefore, the Cs contour axis control function, rigid tapping function,
and spindle positioning function (T series) can be used on a slave axis as
long as it is controlled by the first axis.
Note, however, that unlike spindle synchronous control, simple spindle
synchronous control does not guarantee synchronization between the first
and second spindles. (For details of spindle synchronous control, see
Section 9.12.)
To realize simple spindle synchronous control, two serial spindle systems
suitable for two–spindle connection are required. Moreover, both
spindles must be fitted with spindle–related hardware such as detectors
for the functions used with simple spindle synchronous control (Cs
contour axis control function, rigid tapping function, and spindle
positioning function (T series)).
Simple spindle synchronous control mode is set by applying simple
spindle synchronous control signal ESRSYC from the PMC.
During simple spindle synchronous control, the same commands as those
that are usually used for the first spindle are used in spindle mode, Cs
contour axis control mode, rigid tapping mode, and spindle positioning
(T series).
When the parking function is used, one spindle can be stopped in each of
the control modes described below. For details, see the description of the
parking function.
