Hi all,
We have QT200MY and I've got a job where I could really do with some help. The tool path is a simple cut using ZY with a standard endmill, creating a v-notch on the diameter of the part running along the Z axis. I'd like to know how to pattern that cut around the circumference? Previously I've just copied that one unit and manually punched in the C angle rotation. These parts have many more instances (the end result would be similar to a straight knurl) and variations...I don't have the time to do that manually, and risk fudging a number etc.
Edit: This lathe is programmed conversationally i.e. Mazatrol
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
