● Distributed on the circumference of a drum B (rear-plane machining) the machine has:
● Couplings:
Term: Position
Main spindle HS
NCU assignment
The axes and spindles of a position (for this example) are each assigned to an NCU. One of
the NCUs, the master NCU, controls the axes for the rotations of drums A and B additionally.
There are 4 NCUs with a maximum of the following axes:
Number of axes
Per NCU
Slide 1: X
2: X
Spindles: HS
Transfer axis: ZG
Bar feed: STN
For the master NCU, in addition to the above-mentioned axes there are the two axes for
rotating drums A and B. The list shows that it would not be possible to configure the axis
number for a total of 4 positions via an NCU. (Limit 31 axes, required are 4 + 10 + 2 axes).

Function Manual, 03/2013, 6FC5397-1BP40-3BA1
– 4 counterspindles GS1 to GS4
– 4 cross slides
– Each slide has two axes.
– Optionally a powered tool S5-S8 can operate on each slide.
– The position of each counterspindle can be offset through a linear axis for example for
transferring parts from the main spindle for rear-plane machining in drum B. (Transfer
axes. Axes: ZG1 - ZG4).
– If drum A rotates, all main spindles of this drum are subordinate to another group of
slides.
– If drum B rotates, all main counterspindles and all transfer axes of this drum are
subordinate to another group of slides.
– The rotations of drums A and B are autonomous.
– The rotations of drums A and B are limited to 270 degrees.
