Hi lads,
My boss brought in a Gildemeister lathe from 1998, with double turret and double spindle. It brings siemens 840D control. I had never worked on siemens before, so i have spent a lot of time readind the machine manuals, i have gettered to put it work and i am using 1000 program on channel 1 and 2000 program on channel 2, so i can machine a part at the left side spindle (S4) using the down turret tools (2), get the part with the right spindle (S3) and machine it with the top turret(1)tools. However, i can not figure how to make the two turrets work at the same time on the same spindle, i mean, if i want the number one turret to machine OD and number two turret machine at the same time ID, part being machined on S$ spindle... how can it be done? Thank you!
Best regards!
