To ensure proper coordination for processing multiple channels you should use the &quot;waiting&quot;. In our case, for example, the turret is able to start milling workpiece machining left Chuck while the same piece is machined using the lower turret.<\/p>\n<p>To ensure an effective use of a multi machine Tower is necessary to minimize the waiting time. This task requires the equitable distribution of work among devices. In our example, the amount of processing performed by the tower and the head should be roughly the same.
