Practice exercise

00:01

This is a practice exercise video solution

00:06

for this practice will begin with the supplied data set deep pocket dot f three D.

00:11

The first thing that we want to do is take a look at.

00:13

Set up one by right clicking and editing

00:15

navigating to post process and make sure that we use multiple wcs offsets.

00:20

When we do this,

00:22

we want to ensure that the machine wcs offset is set to one which

00:25

will represent G 54 for the post configuration we're going to be using,

00:30

we're going to set the number of instances at two

00:32

and this is going to give us both G 54

00:35

G 55 with a wcs offset increment of one.

00:39

We're going to say okay. And now when we post this code will be creating a Wcs for G 54

00:49

the same part at to coordinate system positions on a machine.

00:53

In order to see this.

00:54

We also want to create a new NC program by going to set up and select and create NC.

00:59

Program,

00:60

make sure that the post configuration is the hous next gen control

01:04

and then make sure that your name number in this

01:07

case is 1001 with a comment of deep pocket.

01:10

The output folder is going to be the local temp folder for fusion 3 60 cam data sets.

01:15

Now, if you want to change that,

01:16

you can always open the output folder to see what else is there or you

01:20

can change the location of that output folder and also post it to team.

01:25

We're not going to be making any changes to this or adjusting any

01:28

of our post properties but it's always a good idea to double check them

01:32

next in operations, make sure that the entire set up one is selected.

01:36

Notice that all the operations from phase one data two D contour three are posted

01:40

with the work offset of one and they're repeated with a work offset of two.

01:45

Using the option to reorder to minimize tool changes.

01:48

Often times will change the order of operations.

01:51

Moving from work offset 1 to 2 and back and forth. Minimizing the tool changes

01:57

in this case. Leave that option off and select. Ok.

02:01

The N C program is created in an NC program folder.

02:04

I'm going to call this set up one and see

02:08

next. In order to post. Process this. All we need to do is right click and select.

02:12

Post process.

02:14

It's important to note that we're post processing the NC program

02:17

and all the settings that we created inside of that configuration.

02:21

If we were to create a post process of the setup itself,

02:24

it would automatically create a new NC program for us.

02:28

We're going to select Yes.

02:30

If you already have a program 1001 inside of your temp folder.

02:34

It'll ask you if you want to overwrite that

02:36

from here. We can take a look at our program. Phase one is using G 54

02:42

you can see to the adaptive is also using G 54.

02:46

If we use Control F to find and look for G 55 we should see that Phase one.

02:51

The second instance is now referencing G 55. The second instance of two D adaptive.

02:56

G 55

02:57

so on.

02:58

So this is a great way for us to validate our program

03:01

and ensure that we are out putting exactly what is required.

03:05

Note that when you create an NC program and post code that has

03:09

multiple coordinate systems or Wcs,

03:12

you will oftentimes get a parameter warning telling

03:15

you that multiple work offsets were being used.

03:18

It's important to note because not all post

03:20

configurations will support the use of multiple Wcs.

03:23

So make sure that yours is correct.

03:26

And note that if you do use this option, you likely will see a warning next to your N. C.

03:30

Program. Doesn't necessarily mean that anything is wrong.

03:33

Just means that you should validate that you are using a post that can support this

03:38

at this point. Let's make sure that we do save the data set before moving on.
