Detailed description
(1)
Designate the start point using the workpiece coordinates of the own part system.

The start point check is executed only for the axis designated by G116.
(Example) !L1 G116 X100.;
Once the own part system reaches X100., the other part system will start. The other axes are
not checked.
(3) The own part system starts first when synchronizing is performed.
(4) The other part system waits for the own part system to move and reach the designated start
point, and then starts.
