Synchronizing a counterspindle
For multi-channel machines, the counter-spindle steps must be synchronized across all
channels.
You program handling the counter-spindle in one channel. This channel controls the motion
of the counter-spindle and adapts the zero offset of the channel.
In the synchronization step, the other channels park their tools in order to avoid collisions.
The zero offset is also accepted.
