Custom drill cycle probing adding new offset to each feature


Recommended Posts

I would like to probe lets say 30 holes with one MasterCAM operation and be able store the X/Y location in a new work offset for each. How can I track each point in the operation so that it adds +1 for each subsequent hole. If I start off by saving to work offset G154 P1 for the first hole, the next hole will be saved to G154 P2, etc. 

I can do this with a individual op for each hole, but I would like a cleaner process.

Add some logic to the Drill Cycle (use one of the custom parameters) to indicate that the work offset should increment. 

When probing with the Renishaw cycles, typically the "S" parameter is used to set the Work Offset. 

For each hole you Probe, the cycle would be output, with a different S value, to control which Offset is being set.
