Parameters
M1=3 M1=4 M1=5 Spindle rotation clockwise/counterclockwise, spindle stop
for spindle 1. Other spindles are defined according to
M2=… M3=…
M3 Direction of spindle rotation clockwise for master spindle
M4 Direction of spindle rotation counterclockwise for master
spindle
M5 Spindle stop for master spindle
S… Spindle speed in rpm for the master spindle
Sn…= Spindle speed in rpm for spindle n
SETMS(n) Set spindle specified in n as master spindle
SETMS Reset to the master spindle defined in machine data
Spindle speed S
The speed specified with S… or S0=… applies to the master spindle. You specify the
corresponding number for additional spindles: =…, S2=…
Note
Three S values can be programmed per NC block.
Example of master spindle with workspindle
S1 is the master spindle, S2 is the second spindle. The part is to be machined from two
sides. To do this, it is necessary to divide the operations into steps. After the cut-off point,
the synchronizing device (S2) takes over machining of the workpiece after the cut off. To do
this, this spindle S2 is defined as the master spindle to which G95 then applies.
