where to set G54 G55 G56-3 vise offsets

[mike561h]

heres the senerio

 

3 vises. 3 offsets -G54-G55-G56

op1 is face

op2 is chamfer

op3 is drill

Can someone tell how to set this up so the 3 ops are done for all 3 vises.

I usually tranform on a plate multiple parts.

Now I have to use 3 vises. Never done before.

Any help would be appreciated. Its no problem setting the offsets on the machine.

Do you have to group?

Can you place your file on the FTP?

 

I assume you have different tools doing the different ops and not all the same tool.

Setting up a new WCS for each vise is probably going to be the best way to do this.

 

If you do not know how to use the WCS do a search there is planty of info abound about how to do and where to find a tutorial to help you.

can't you just make the ops a subroutine somewhere

If you like subs then try this

Modern posts with native subprogram support can be made to output the same code as mpsubrep. Search for mpsubrep_newmethod in the forum, and on the FTP (Mc9 files folder).

I would just set the workoffset in each original operation to 0 then use transform and check the box under method that says toolplane, then select auto increment under work offsets.
