Problem Lathe in Edgecam: Spindle-docking from Sub to Main - CNCzone.com-The Largest Machinist Community on the net!

HarmH · #1 02-21-2009, 03:38 AM

I’m setting up a Mori Seiki lathe in Edgecam.
In practice we often start machining a job on the sub spindle, later we we’re spindle-docking and we continue machining the same part on the main spindle.

(The order of machining, starting at main or sub, depends on several factors such as tool-length, product-accuracy and reachability around chucks.)

Does somebody know how to dock product + stock from sub to main?

As of Edgecam 2009 R1 docking from sub spindle to main is NOT supported. Give your reseller a call and have him put it in as a enhancement request.

Was this functionality available in previous versions?
