Speed ratio SR
T
The speed ratio is defined with parameters for FS (numerator) and LS (denominator).
Options:
• Following and leading spindle rotate at the same speed (n
FS
= n
LS
; SR
T
positive
• Rotation in the same or opposite direction (SR
T
negative) between LS and FS
• Following and leading spindles rotate at different speeds

Application: Polygonal turning
Example:
N ... COUPDEF (S2, S1, 1.0, 4.0)
Meaning: the following spindle S2 and the leading spindle S1 rotate at a speed ratio of 0.25.

Note
The numerator must always be programmed. If no numerator is programmed, "1" is taken as
the default.
The speed ratio can also be changed on-the-fly, when the coupling is active.
