Application
Manufacturing operations with positioned leading spindle and rotating tools require exact
synchronism with the counter spindle which then functions like a following spindle. A turret
rotating about the following spindle allows parts to be machined with different tool types. The
following diagram shows an application in which the tool is positioned parallel to the main
spindle.

Requirements
Basic requirements for differential speed programming:
● Synchronous spindle functionality is required.
● The dynamic response of the following spindle must be at least as high as that of the
leading spindle. Otherwise, the system may suffer from reduced quality, for example, rigid
tapping without a compensating chuck G331/G332.
