SINUMERIK 840D sl Commissioning Manual CNC: ShopTurn – 11/2006 Edition
It is possible to work on a single turning machine with two tool carriers, both of
which are mounted on an X axis. The tool carriers can be Revolver, Multifix or a
combination of the two.
Since both tool adapters are mounted on the same axis, it is only ever possible
to work with one tool at a time. The workpiece is located between the two tool
adapters.
All tools have the same reference point (generally on tool carrier 1), regardless
of which tool carrier they are located on. For this reason, the tool lengths of the
second tool carrier are always longer than those of the tools on the first tool car-
rier. The main machining work is carried out in the negative range of the X axis.
