1. General
3-path control function is the function to execute three independent machining at the same time.
This function is intended for the lathe which cuts the work at the same time on three 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 the 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 all paths need to wait for one another during machining, the waiting function is
available.
Only one CRT/MDI unit is provided for all paths. Therefore, the path selection signals must be
selected before operation. The display of the screen also depends on the path selection signals.

  • Page 12(2) Synchronous Control An axis in path 1 or path 2 can be synchronized with another axis in the same path or an axis in the other path. This is realized by issuing the same move commands for one axis (synchronous master axis) to another axis (synchronous slave axis). Using parameter SMRx (bit 0 of
  • Page 13(3) Composite Control Move commands can be interchanged between an axis in path 1 or path 2 and an axis in the other path. In other words, when a machining program is executed for one path, actual machining can be performed with an axis in the other path. Coordinate systems can also be switched auto
