M19 Spindle positioning
Siemens 840D 828D M-code · Mill and lathe
Positions the spindle to the angle stored in setting data. SPOS= is the programmable way to stop at a chosen angle.
Format
M19
How it works
Modal. The spindle stays in position mode until M3, M4 or M5.
Example program
M5 ; SPINDLE STOP
M19 ; ORIENT SPINDLE
SPOS=90 ; OR POSITION TO 90 DEGREES
M19 ; ORIENT SPINDLE
SPOS=90 ; OR POSITION TO 90 DEGREES
Example is in inch. Check offsets and clearances first.
Watch out for
- The M19 angle is in setting data. Use SPOS= in the program if a fixed angle is needed.
Machine builders set many M codes, and they change by model and options. Check the M code list for your machine.
