1. General This enhancement enables you to select any pair for Polygonal turning with two spindles out of 1st to 4th serial spindles (1st to 3rd serial spindles in case of FS18i). In the case of multi-path control system, two spindles of different paths can be selected.

2. Specification In polygonal turning with two spindles, master axis (workpiece rotation axis) and slave axis (tool rotation axis) can be selected by the parameter No.7640 and No.7641. For the details of polygonal turning, refer to FANUC Series 16i/18i/21i/160i/180i/210i CONNECTION MANUAL (FUNCTION) 6.11.2 Polygonal Turning with Two Spindles

3. Parameters
7640

Master spindle of polygonal turning with two spindles

7641

Slave spindle of polygonal turning with two spindles Byte 0,1 to number of spindles, or m x10+n (m: 1 to number of paths, n: 1 to number of spindles) Set the master and slave spindles of polygonal turning with two spindles. Set value 1 to 4 : 1st to 4th serial spindle of its own path 11 to 14 : 1st to 4th serial spindle of path1 21 to 24 : 1st to 4th serial spindle of path2 31 to 32 : 1st to 2nd serial spindle of path3 If the parameter No.7640 or No.7641 is 0, the master is 1st serial spindle and the slave is 2nd serial spindle of its own path.

[Data type] [Valid data range]

Note1) Note2)

If 2nd, 3rd or 4th serial spindle is master, multi-spindle control option is necessary to command S code. When the parameter No.7640 or No.7641 is changed by the PMC window function or G10 command, change the parameter before the polygon turning command G51.2 (G251). If the parameter No.7640 or No.7641 is changed by the PMC window function before G51.2 (G251), M code to change the parameter must be preventing buffering (parameter No.3411-).
