To make a multi-turret post:
- Start with a working turning post, one that can turn with the primary turret.
- Select CNC-Info > Turrets and use the Turret Information dialog to set the controls.
- Open the
Program Start format in the
Formats
editor, and add the following sync code line:
{M<SYNC1>}<EOB> - Repeat the previous step for the Tool Change, Segment Start, Program End, and all of the sub spindle formats.
- If you are using turning canned cycles, add the sync code line below to the
all
of the
turning canned cycle formats:
{M<SYNC1>}<EOB>
Tip: To view an example of how the synchronization codes are used, in
XBUILD open a CNC file in the Posts/Turn folder. Save it as the .CNX file by selecting
File > Document CNC, and open the created file with a text editor like Notepad. Now you can search for the string 'SYNC-NUM' to see where it is used.
