General
The function axis/spindle converter implements the assignment of the axis/spindle names of a
neutral part program to the axes and/or spindles defined in the machine. The function is
activated with MD 5186, bit 2 and MD 5006, bit 6.
This makes it possible to run the same part program on machines with different axis names as
well as on the same machine tool but with different channels.
12.17.2 Axis converter12.17.2.1 Description of function
If the converter is active, it converts the axis address (and address extension) in neutral part
programs into a different axis address (and address extension).
Up to 8 axes per NC channel can be converted at the same time.
Example:
X X3
Y4 Q14
Z10 Y2
X3 X
