Tailstock Spindle Interlock (Tailstock Specification)
The tailstock spindle interlock function is provided to disable the start of memory (tape) operation
while the tailstock spindle is retracted in center-work operation.
In other words, to ensure safety, the memory (tape) operation can be started only when the
workpiece is held by the tailstock spindle center. If the cycle of the memory (tape) operation were
started while a workpiece was not held by the tailstock spindle center correctly, the workpiece
might come out of the chuck, causing hazards.
It is made valid or invalid on the OPERATION PANEL screen.

<When the tailstock spindle interlock function is valid>
Cycle start of the memory (tape) operation is impossible unless the workpiece is held by the
tailstock spindle center with the tailstock spindle moved OUT.
<When the tailstock spindle interlock function is invalid>
Cycle start of the memory (tape) operation is permitted regardless of the tailstock spindle IN/OUT
status.
The tailstock spindle interlock function becomes effective when the
