    4 axis offsets X5

    4th axis HMC
    4 identical parts on 4 sides of a pallet
    I want to transform toolpaths with unique work offsets for all 16 parts. I can do this by transforming it 15 times, but I'd like to do it with one transform op. Is it possible? If so how. TY

    I think what you are trying to do can be accomplished with Transform > Type - Translate > Method - Tool Plane > Work offset numbering - Assign new.

    You have 4 pcs on one face correct? now did you you program one pc and then trans to the other three or did you program all 4 parts and want to trans to the other 3 faces to the toomb?

    PS either way the answer will be know for one transform.
    Now lets talk about want the 1st tool coming out and doing all 16 parts ten the same with the next tool and so on. this how you want it correct. Or do you want it to do one whole part then to the next part with all the ops at each part? I teach this a few diffrent ways.

    Then you will need to have a few Transforms to make this happen.Can you share your file I can put an example on it for you?

    Also have you talked to your dealer about how to do this. Rob or Dense could show you at the office.
