M19 Spindle Orientation
M19 Spindle orientation. M19 M-code stops the spindle in a defined angle position.
Usage of Spindle Orientation
The spindle orientation is normally used for milling operation (Live tooling) on a cnc lathe machine.
Main spindle and sub spindle can be oriented to transfer irregular workpieces.

M19 Spindle Orientation on Fanuc
The stopping angle is programmed through the optional address S (Fanuc).
Example:
N22 …… N23 M19 S45 N24 ……
M19 Spindle Orientation on Haas CNC
M19 adjusts the spindle to a fixed position. The spindle will only orient to the zero position without the optional M19 spindle orient feature.
The optional Orient Spindle function allows P and R address codes. For example,
M19 P270
will orient the spindle to 270 degrees.
The R-value allows the programmer to specify up to four decimal places; for example,
M19 R123.4567

M119 Sub Spindle Orientation
The sub-spindle can be oriented to fixed position with an M119. A “P” or “R” value can be added that will cause it to orient to a particular angle (in degrees). A combination of M19 Pxx or M119 Pxx can be used to transfer irregular workpieces.
