Ok guys,
What I am looking for are some sample NC file headers, I want to see what you guys like the operators to see in the program. Here is an example of a post I created with what I have in the header.
In my example I am using the tool list variable to post the necessary header for predator to simulate the tool and stock. I assume that have the tool description, size offsets and LOC would be more important for production shops and figure some of you could post up some samples for me to review.
Side Bar:
In the V26 software that we are currently rolling out we did add setup sheets, but I know many shops prefer to have the program notes in the header so there is only 1 file to "manage" for the program notes...
But for those that want to take a look at our XLM setup sheets here are a few screen shots of the different templates that come pre loaded with the V26.
