i will share a program file for "refferance use" , its from a citizen
twin spindle, sliding head lathe
https://pastebin.com/kBuw1mR4
X , and Y on the main slide with tooling also
Z is on its own slide that the main spindle moves on.
X and Z is on the slide with the sub spindle
$1 is for path 1 in the control
$2 is for path2 in the control
$0 is just a setup file to set the slide platern type, bar size,
clearance for tool hights ..
each program can address the main or sub spindle or power tooling as
seen in the program in part off section of code.
and each program can command coolant direction change etc
!L# is wait commands or more so sync commands where the machine has to
be in postion/done part of a program before one or the other path's can
carry on.
!L must be increasing values and can not be reused. find this works well
for syncing over what iv seen other controlls do.
G811 syncs the two Z slides together so as the main slide (z) moves the
slave (z)follows so you can part off with a chamfer or support a long
shaft while you work on it from the main turning/power tools.
might give someone afew ideas of how things can be..
nakamuura machines come to mind when talking about real multitasking
lathes also
