Hello guys,
This is my first time posting here, and I am a real beginner when it comes to Mastercam.
I'll try to make it as easy to understand as possible.
First, some basic info:
Software : Mastercam X6 (Japanese Lang.)
OS : Windows 7 SP1 (64bit)
Machine : Nakamura Tome Lathe (Dual spindle, dual upper turrets)
Contoller : FANUC
POST : Custom-made at the time of software introduction
The part to be machined:
A long cylindrical bar, which may be 500 to 2000mm long.
It is to be machined first by holding in the left chuck only, and then it is pulled out little-by-little and machined whilst holding between both the chucks. Finally, it is held by the right chuck only and completed.
The machining process includes face turning, center drilling, OD turning, and multiple grooving operations.
What I tried:
I was able to do the first stock advance, and the corresponding processing.
When I tried to do the stock transfer, the active spindle automatically changes from left to right.
How can I stop this changing of the active spindle at every stock transfer, and have it change only at the last transfer?
*I could not find anything in the settings dialog (my understanding limited by my level of Japanese).
I'd be extremely grateful for any guidance
