I have a multi part fixture which holds 60 parts.
This fixture goes on the machine daily to machine parts over night.
I want to be able to put the fixture on and probe align the fixture in G54 and pick the fixture up in G54, which is the easy part.
What I want to do is machine the part with G55, therefore I want to move to position of each part in G54 and then set G55 at center of the part with X0 Y0 and say Z25 and also the rotation that is in G54 and machine the part with a sub program
My thinking behind this is that the fixture doesn’t have to be clocked up (In effect it could be 20deg out of square). each component is critical with rotation when on the fixture as it is already part machined.
This can be done with a G10 in Fanuc but not sure on the Siemens controller
Hope this makes sense
