cannot be traversed, then the workpieces must be manually reclamped
Please refer to the machine manufacturer's specifications.
Machining with main spindle and counterspindle
For instance, a new blank can be clamped in the main spindle, and a blank that has already

program, initially the workpiece is machined in the main spindle, and then the rear side of the
workpiece, already machined at the front, is machined in the counter spindle.
