Turret Selection
To write a program for turret A (upper turret) or turret B (lower turret), the turret for which the
program is written must be selected first. There are no differences in programming format between
the programs for turrets A and B.
The G code used to select the turret must always be placed at the start of a program.
All commands in a program beginning with a turret selection G code are effective for the selected
turret. To program an operation for the other turret, specify the G code to select it first.
Example:
LE33013R0301300020001
Turret selection G codes may be specified in a program as many times as necessary. On program
execution, the portions of the program governed by the turret selection G codes are separated into
G13 side and G14 side programs which are regarded as programs for the individual turrets.
G code for selecting turret A : G13
G code for selecting turret B : G14
