process shopmill order

[ichmts]

Hello everyone

Following problem:

I have a component part with 10 pockets
Now each pocket should be pre-roughed with a big cutter and afterwards the residual material should get removed.
For that, I have 10 contours with 3 milling tasks each in Shopmill, of course that take a very long time because the machine does a tool change after each pocket.
I would prefer that it processes all pockets with one cutter and then it removes all of the residual material with a second cutter.

How can I influence the order?

Be aware, I am still a newbie =)

Regards

A contour with one technology is sufficient.
Set TRANS X, Y and repeat technology.
You don’t even have to be able to master the Siemens controller, that is everyday life.

But these are 10 different pockets. Similar, but still different.
