1. AXIS CONTROL
118
Parameter No. 8180 specifies which axis is to be synchronized with which
axis.
(Example)
To synchronize the Z1--axis with the Z2--axis:
Parameter No. 8180z of path 1 = 2
To synchronize the Y2--axis with the X1--axis:
Parameter No. 8180y of path 2 = 1
To synchronize the Y1--axis with the X1--axis:
Parameter No. 8180y of path 1 = 201
Use M codes for wait, beginning, and terminating synchronization in a
machining program in the stated order. It is also possible to begin and
terminate synchronous control without using M codes.
When synchronization begins or ends (when an M code is issued, for
example), the synchronous control axis selection signals SYNC1 to
SYNC7 for the slave axis (from the PMC to the CNC) are changed from
“0” to “1” (to begin synchronization) or from “1” to “0” (to terminate
synchronization). To place an axis in a parking state, a parking signal PK1
to PK7 is set to “1” for the target axis.
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 2) Synchronizing the X2-- and Z2--axes with the X1-- and
Z1--axes (balanced cutting)
