create supporting documentation.

00:05

After completing this video, you'll be able to

00:08

create a set up sheet with a tool list,

00:13

Infusion 3 60.

00:15

We want to start with the supply dataset mounting block ready to post dot F three Z.

00:20

This contains two different setups. Op one and op two.

00:24

Op one completely machines and finishes the top side of our part.

00:29

And opt to use is a fixture plate to machine all the rest of the detail of the part.

00:34

Now we want to take a look at using NC programs to create setup sheets

00:38

First. I'm going to navigate back to op one

00:41

and then I'm going to go to my setup. Drop down and select create NC program.

00:46

The NC program will bring in information from the

00:48

current active setup in this case op one.

00:51

We can see that it brought the name number in from the setup as well as the comet.

00:57

No, because we have a machine selected used.

00:60

Machine configuration is checked which is using a Haas

01:02

VF one and it automatically goes to the post.

01:06

For the next gen control.

01:07

All the settings should be double checked

01:10

including the output folder and whether or

01:12

not you wanna post to fusion team posting diffusion team means that the N.

01:16

C. File will be located inside your data panel.

01:19

On the right hand side of our settings.

01:20

We have properties that we can change about our post configuration

01:24

At the very top.

01:25

We can expand configuration and note that chip transport is turned on

01:29

because the Haas VF1 does have a chip transporter. This is automatically enabled.

01:34

It's important to note that the user's input for turning on and off the chip

01:38

transport is oftentimes recommended because you don't

01:41

want to consistently run the chip transport.

01:44

Also note that in the preferences we have options for things like fast tool, change,

01:49

default, coolant pressure, adding optional stops and so on.

01:53

It's a good idea to review the post properties

01:55

that you have that are for your specific post

01:59

next we want to move on to our operations again by default,

02:03

all of the operations inside of op one will come through.

02:07

Note that the two D contour is selected but because it's suppressed,

02:10

it's not available on the right hand side

02:13

we can de select this tool path and it won't have any change on our posted code

02:18

at the bottom we have an option to post OK? Or cancel when we select OK.

02:23

It's going to create an NC program inside of R N C programs folder.

02:27

I'm gonna rename this op one. N C.

02:31

We're going to repeat the process by activating up to

02:34

going to set up and creating a new NC program.

02:37

Once again it's going to use all those default settings.

02:40

Moving over to operations and then select OK.

02:44

Next we want to select the name and rename this op two and see

02:50

once we have our NC programs named op one N C

02:53

and up to n C notice that when we select them,

02:55

it's going to select all the tool paths that are going to be posted inside of those

02:59

programs

03:01

at this point, what we're going to be doing is creating a set up sheet.

03:04

And to do that we can use the N. C.

03:06

Programs we've created and all the associated tool

03:09

paths by simply right clicking on the NC.

03:11

Program. We have options to simulate simulate with machine

03:14

post process as well as create a setup sheet.

03:17

So we're going to select setup sheet.

03:20

It's going to give us the name and the location

03:22

where it's going to be placed in this case.

03:24

I'm putting it in a documentations folder and I'm going to select save

03:28

Once we do that.

03:29

The setup sheet will open up inside of our fusion

03:35

We're going to go ahead and increase the size and note

03:37

that at the very top we have a configuration drop down

03:40

by default.

03:41

It will be on detailed which will give us all the information in various categories,

03:45

such as the summary, which tells us the comment for the program.

03:49

It tells us the design document as well as

03:51

the version of fusion and when it was created

03:54

gives us all the tool numbers

03:56

the men in max Z values the cutting distance,

03:58

rapid distance and the estimated cycle time

04:01

keeping in mind that what we're looking at here

04:03

is going to represent what's currently on the screen.

04:06

Even though we selected op one and C. Op two is active.

04:10

So we're showing up to and it's fixture

04:13

as we scroll down, it gives us a tool list,

04:15

it tells us all the different tools that are being used, their parameters,

04:18

it shows pictures of the tools and their holders and then as we go down further,

04:22

it gives us information about the setup,

04:24

specifically the wcs that's being used.

04:27

And note here that we have our stock size, the part size and the location of that wCS

04:33

As we scroll down a bit further, it gives us information about the operations.

04:37

This is all the information that's going to be contained inside of our setup sheet.

04:42

However, it's important to note that if we close these out and activate op one,

04:47

this is going to show the part the stock as well as the coordinate system.

04:51

If we were to right click on

04:53

one and see and create a setup sheet again,

04:55

we're going to use the same number which will overwrite that data.

04:59

When we look here, we can see the picture now shows the part in the vice.

05:02

As we scroll down,

05:03

we still are not seeing any setup information showing a picture of the stock,

05:08

We can change the type or configuration of our setup sheet to show tools only

05:13

compact compact with the summary image. No images or tool. Images only.

05:18

If we go to compact this is going to

05:20

remove some of the information from the setup sheet.

05:23

In this case you can see that it changes the setup sheet just slightly.

05:27

Doesn't make very much of a drastic difference.

05:29

If we do tools only,

05:31

this is going to create a set up sheet that only

05:32

shows the tool list and the basic summary at the top.

05:36

Any of these setup sheets can be accessed through the

05:38

data panel infusion 360 or if you're locating your designs and

05:42

your files on the web but you can also print

05:44

them out and hand them directly to the machine operator.

05:48

In this case, let's go ahead and close this out and let's take a look at up to

05:52

once again,

05:53

it's a good practice for us to select the operation or set up

05:56

inside of our browser and then we can create our setup sheet.

06:01

Once again it's going to automatically pull in the program number.

06:04

It's going to save that into the location in our data panel

06:07

And once again you can see information about the tool paths,

06:10

location of the stock and so on.

06:13

It is important to note that there are going to be some

06:15

differences or variations depending on where you access your setup sheet.

06:20

For example with op one selected. Note that when I move to selecting op one NC.

06:25

Program

06:26

the preview on the screen no longer shows our stock.

06:29

If I were to select op one in our setups right click,

06:32

I still have the option to simulate

06:35

we can post process or we can create a setup sheet from here.

06:39

If we select setup sheet, it's going to try to bring us to a location on the computer.

06:44

We're going to select OK.

06:46

And note at this time it says that different

06:48

tools have the same number assigned to them.

06:50

If we post process these, it's going to present a problem in this case

06:54

the two D champ for and drill both have tool one.

06:57

This means that we found a problem that wasn't available when

07:01

we tried to create our setup sheet directly from R.

07:03

N. C. Program.

07:04

So inside of our program here we've got tool one is a

07:08

two D champ for and this tool one is our drill.

07:11

So we're going to edit R two D chant for tool. Right click select edit

07:16

You can see inside of here that we can select the

07:18

tool and we can make modifications directly inside of here.

07:22

I'm going to right click and edit the tool from here.

07:24

Go to post process and I'm going to set this as tool number eight.

07:29

We're going to accept select the tool and say OK and regenerate.

07:35

Now we have tool eight for our champ for tool and you'll notice as

07:38

we go down to the champ for in op two is listed as tool one

07:42

instead of going into the tool path itself. I'm going to edit the tool directly

07:47

when I select the post process data,

07:49

I can reassign the tool number here but there's

07:52

another way that we can do this as well.

07:54

If we edit the tool path

07:56

And we re select a different tool.

07:58

We can go into our current documents and we can simply select tool number eight.

08:03

This is a better way to do it. Rather than re numbering the tools in both operations.

08:08

So that way we don't have any problems with duplicate tools

08:11

at this point. Make sure that we take a look at the fact that both of our N. C.

08:15

Programs are out of date in order to update these.

08:18

We need to post the code but we're not quite to that stage yet.

08:22

Let's take one more. Look at creating a setup sheet for op one.

08:25

We're going to right click on op one create setup sheet.

08:29

Once again it's asking for a location on our machine

08:32

and then it's going to open up an html document.

08:35

Note that with the html document.

08:37

The setup sheet is not configurable, like it is through the N. C. Program.

08:42

But as we scroll down, we can see information about the tools in the tool paths.

08:46

Just like we saw before.

08:47

We also have information about the setup,

08:50

showing a preview of the coordinate system located here.

08:53

It's important for us to identify the differences between the

08:56

ways in which we can create our setup sheets,

08:58

infusion 360 and figure out which one is right for you.

09:02

There are other ways to create new setup sheets and set up sheet templates.

09:07

Those options can be found and saved inside of our template library.

09:11

If you want more information on creating custom templates,

09:13

it's important to go through the Help file and figure

09:15

out what template suits you when creating your setup sheets.

09:18

But for right now, let's make sure that we understand how to create a set up sheet,

09:22

both from an NC program, as well as by creating a setup sheet directly for our setup.

09:27

Let's make sure that we do save this design before moving on to the next step.
