transform

[sspv]

can someone tell me how to transform to 3 different locations one tool at a time.there are three different vises at different locations x y z.I can do it on my fadal with my sub post not having to use transform, but on my hurco this is a different story.I can do two locations but i can't get the third one to work.

 

 

thanks in advance

Welcome to the Forum

 

What kind of problems are you having with the 3rd transform?

 

Have you tried telling it 3 transforms and not just 2?

 

If so, how are you setting the information?

the problem i am having is where to type in the different locations.it looks like you have to have the vises at equal locations.

nope

 

click on tool plane, on the left side of the tranform window, this will allow you to work offset numbering on the right side of the tranform window.

 

click assign new and set your work offset numbering the way you need to output new work offsets.

 

Then on the translate tab, set your x,y spacing to zero

 

x steps to 3 and y steps zero.

 

that should kick out 3 work offset outputs at your desired location.

John:

 

When does it kick out the 3 different offset?do you have to post it.

[Guest]

Yes, when you post it.

 

If you watch your backplot you would see the tool repeat whatever path you were backplotting the number of times you have it steped, except it will look like it is machining the same path over and over, the posted output though should move it to the proper work offset.

thanks john:

 

I see how it works now.I thought it would use sub programs like the fadal post does ,it seems to be easier and alot less lines.

 

thanks again

The sub program option is available on the transform menu, you could use it, if you wanted.
