1. General
l-CPU a-path control is the function to execute two independent machining at the same time
with Main CPU board only.
This function is intended for the lathe which cuts the work at the same time on two tool posts.
The machining programs for each path are stored into program memories for each path.
Before automatic operation, select the machining program on each path at first.
After selecting the machining program, the program can be executed independently on each path at
the same time. Moreover, the machining program for each path can be started at different time
independently.
When the each path need to wait for one another during machining, the waiting function is available.
It is available check for tool post interference, balance cutting, synchronous and mixture control,
spindle control for 2 path system, custom macro variable common to tool posts and program copy for
2 path system.
