I used the python API to automatic generate the machining settings before without synchronized external axes. However, the panel of machining settings with synchronized external axes is more complicated. Is there any example to show how to control the panel? How to disable the "Optimize turntable"?

You can control the robot machining parameters using the API including the turntable optimization settings. Using the API is a bit more complex than using the User Interface but it allows you to automate and customize your workflow.

The 4 main settings you can control about the turntable optimization for a robot machining project are the following API machining settings you can use:

• TurntableActive (set to 1 to activate it)
  
• TurntableOffset (offset of 0 deg is the same as 0)
  
• TurntableRZcomp (set to 1 to have the default automatic compensation)
  
• TurntableKeepPos (set to 1 to prioritize the position of the TCP instead of the orientation of the Z vector)
  

You can find an example about how to get or set these robot machining parameters here:
