Hello everybody! New member here and my first post! I work in a CNC shop doing process improvement.
One of my first issues is to tackle operators forgetting to delete programs out of the machines and re-running the same programs into different jobs. Everything we do runs out of a main program so we are sub calling all of the programs for machining. So is there any way to delete the old toolpath program while in the main program? In a perfect world i would like to start the main program, run our probe cycle and pick up the job, run the toolpathing program, and then right here when i return to the main i would like to delete that toolpath file that was just ran so that it is not in the control when the operator goes to run the next job. Is there any way to do this? I have done hours of searching and could not come up with anything. Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance!
