We are running Gibbscam and programming for our Hurco VMC. I'm setting up for a job that has 3 operations to it. Going to be making a fixture, so 3 vices in the machine, holding 3 different fixtures, 4 parts at a time. What is the best way to program for this? Right now easiest way that I know is to make 3 separate programs and then combine them. But that is not efficient as far as tool changes go to use tools that are used in each OP.
Do I need find the exact distance between the fixtures and draw it up that way? When the job repeats, do you do that all over again set it up in machine and get the exact distance and change the program?
Whats the best way to do this?
Thanks for the help.
