I have a fixture with 16 separate v-blocks to hold .750 OD part with a body flat ground along one side of the entire OD. We are resting the flat on one side of the “V” to orientate the flat in the y-axis. I am using a probing subprogram currently to pick up G54-G59 and then running all 6 parts roughing first then finishing. I cant seem to figure out why my machine only has G54-G59 available for setting Work offsets. How would i go about probing all 16 parts and storing the locations in variables and then calling those coordinates to get to the origin without using G54-G59? Probe is Renishaw OMP-40. Our way around this is to load all 16 parts pick up the first 6 parts in G54-59 rough and finish then use G10 to get us close for the next 6 parts and pick those up with the probe and reset 54-59 rough and finish, then G10 again for the last 4 parts to get us close and pick them up with probe and reset 54-57. Then G10 one last time to reset the initial G54-G59 for the next cycle.....hahhahaha. Anyone got any bright ideas to make this better?
