No special meaning
Tool spindle (rotating tool)
Auxiliary spindle (rotating tool)
Main spindle (turning)
Separate C axis of the main spindle (turning)
Counterspindle (turning)
Separate C axis of the counterspindle (turning)
Linear axis of the counterspindle (turning)
Tailstock (turning)
Steady (turning)
B axis (turning)
B axis in counterspindle (turning)
Transverse travel X of the counterspindle (turning)
Rotates around 1st geometry axis (for rotation axis)
Rotates around 2nd geometry axis (for rotation axis)
Rotates around 3rd geometry axis (for rotation axis)
Direction of rotation is counter-clockwise (for rotary axis / C axis).
Displayed direction of rotation of the spindle/C axis for the M function M3 is counter-clockwise
Inverts M3 / M4 (for spindles)
This bit must be set analogous to PLC bit DB31, ... DBX17.6!
Display rotary axis as offset target for measurement
List rotary axis in the position pattern
List rotary axis to accept blank (on milling machines)
Spindle is not SPOS-capable
Rotary axis rotates around 1st geometry axis (only for position pattern)
Rotary axis rotates around 2nd geometry axis (only for position pattern)
Rotary axis rotates around 3rd geometry axis (only for position pattern)
Meaning of the axes in the channel
[n] channel axis number
Attribute of the axes in the channel
