Example 3)
Synchronizing the B1-axis (slave) (tail stock axis) with the
Z1-axis (master)

(2) Placing the movement along the synchronous master axis in the
stopped state using a parking signal is referred to as master
parking. In this state, the tool will move along the slave axes
only. In contrast, placing the synchronous slave axes in the
stopped state is referred to as slave parking. In this state, the
tool will move along the master axis only. This makes it
possible to control a single motor from both paths 1 and 2.
Example 4)
Sharing one motor with the Z1- and Z2-axes (assuming that
the motor is linked to the Z1-axis)

The X2- and Z1-axes are moved by commands
in a path 2 program (by synchronizing the Z1-
axis (slave) with the Z2-axis (master)). At this
point, the Z2-axis (master) is kept in a parking
state.
