CP Versions
Generic coupling is available in a basic version as part of the NCK software and as three
optional versions CP-BASIC, CP-COMFORT and CP-EXPERT.
This structure is based on the following considerations:
• Functional scope and required application knowledge increase from the basic version to
• The number of required couplings (following axes, following spindles) and their properties
• Individual versions are independent of each other. They can be combined and can be

are decisive in the selection of versions.
– Example of simultaneous operation:
If sequential operation of 1 x synchronous spindle pair for part transfer from the main
to the supplementary spindle and the 1 x multi-edge turning is required, then the CP-
BASIC option is suitable and sufficient. However, if it cannot be excluded that both
operations can overlap (multi-edge turning running when part transfer is started), the
CP-COMFORT option would be required.
– Example of property:
If a coupled axis grouping with a leading axis is required, the base version is sufficient.
For coupled motion groups with two leading axes, one of the optional versions is
required.
