Example 5: Gear stage cannot be changed → monitoring of gear stage
If the spindle speed is programmed in addition to the geometry in the
the second gear-stage data record, if the speed is not within the preset speed range (defined
by the maximum and minimum speed thresholds) of the active gear stage, it will not be
possible to change gear stages, because the path motion of the spindle and the infeed axis
(axes) would not be retained.
As in the example above, the speed and gear stage are monitored in the
alarm 16748 is signaled if necessary.

Thread interpolation for the spindle starts from the current position, which is determined by
the previously processed section of the part program, e.g. if the gear stage was changed.
Therefore, it might not be possible to remachine the thread.
Note
Please note that when machining with multiple spindles, the drill spindle also has to be the
master spindle.
