7.4 Fundamentals

Clamping the spindle

The "Clamp spindle" function must be set up by the machine manufacturer.

Note for selecting the clamp spindle function under ShopTurn

The machine manufacturer also specifies whether ShopTurn will clamp the spindle

automatically if this would facilitate machining, or if you can decide the types of machining for

which the spindle should be clamped.

If you are to decide the types of machining for which the spindle is to be clamped, the

following applies:

You should note that when machining in the end face/end face C and peripheral

surface/peripheral surface C planes, clamping only remains active for contour milling and

drilling operations. On the other hand, when machining in the end face Y/end face B and

peripheral surface Y planes, clamping is modal, i.e. it remains active until the machining

plane is changed.

Machine manufacturer

Please refer to the machine manufacturer's specifications.
