88 88  When changing the value of the Pipe Diameter parameter, the SPU parameter is automatically recalculated only for the rollgang motor. The value of the SPU for the motor of the rotary axis operating in tandem with the rollgang remains unchanged. This mechanism allows the pipe to always rotate at the same speed, regardless of its diameter. The rotation speed of the roller table rollers will be adjusted based on the entered pipe diameter.
