Machining with fixed counterspindle
If your lathe is equipped with a second spindle, which is setup as a counterspindle and
cannot be traversed, then the workpieces must be manually reclamped
Machine manufacturer
Please refer to the machine manufacturer's specifications.
Machining with main spindle and counterspindle
For instance, a new blank can be clamped in the main spindle, and a blank that has already
been machined at the front can be clamped in the counterspindle. With the ShopTurn
program, initially the workpiece is machined in the main spindle, and then the rear side of the
workpiece, already machined at the front, is machined in the counter spindle.
Note
Various workpieces
You have the option of machining two different workpieces at the main spindle and
counterspindle.
