In this lesson, we'll be creating setup sheets.
00:06
After completing this lesson, you'll be able to: Create a setup sheet and create a tool list.
00:12
In Fusion 360, we're going to be working with our fsae rim front setup.
00:17
We want to make sure that we have an NC program and then we can right click on our NC program and select setup sheet.
00:25
We need to determine a location for this and give it a name.
00:29
In this case, the name is going to be the program name or number that we have inside of our NC program,
00:34
and the location is wherever the current design is saved in our data panel.
00:38
I'm going to select Save and this is going to open up a setup sheet generator.
00:43
From here, you'll notice a current view is on the screen.
00:47
It's going to tell us information about the program comment, the number of operations, the tools used,
00:52
and specifics about things like the max feed rate and max spindle speed.
00:57
These are great checks to be able to double check that the machine you're running this on can actually go to 12,000 rpm,
01:04
that it can move at 160 per minute.
01:07
If these are outside of the range of your machine, well, you're going to have problems running this,
01:12
and it's going to throw an error as soon as you try to load and run the code on your controller.
01:17
As we go down the list, you can see that we have tools,
01:22
we have setup information which gives us information about our stock and the WCS number we're using.
01:28
It gives us information about the operations in this case, the description, the strategy, the WCS that's being used, the tool and so on.
01:37
And this allows us to get all the information we need about each step in the process.
01:44
We can print this out or we can share it directly from the Cloud where it's saved in our Data panel.
01:50
Also note that inside of here, we have a drop-down list.
01:53
This allows us to make a tools only list for example.
01:57
Or we can determine if we want to make a summary page with images only.
02:02
Now I do want to make sure we understand that there are ways that we can get additional information into these setup sheets.
02:09
If we close this and we go back to the operations, for example, our adaptive.
02:14
If we right click, we have something called edit notes.
02:18
Inside of our original adaptive operation, I'm going to just put a note, roughing the major portion of rim.
02:30
So now I have this note roughing the major portion of rim.
02:33
If I go back into my setup sheet and I go back and take a look at that original operation,
02:40
I'm going to re save this over the original and I'm going to take a look at just my operations.
02:47
So inside of here, you'll notice that there's a note roughing the major portion of a rim.
02:52
So if we need to convey a little bit more information than just the basics about the operation,
02:58
then we can add those notes to each operation and the programs so that way they're conveyed in the setup sheet.
03:03
And once again, we can print this out.
03:05
We can change the way that it's configured.
03:08
We can show no tool images or only a tool list for example.
03:12
And these are ways that we can simplify what a user is expecting to see when they're setting up a machine.
03:19
One note that I want to make sure we understand is that the image that we see on the screen is the current image that we have in Fusion 360.
03:27
So for example, if you select Setup1 and then you right click and create your setup sheet, the preview image is going to be based on that selection.
03:39
So you'll notice as soon as we go and we click OP1, the image changes and we no longer see that WCS.
03:47
So it's important for us to understand the steps in the process, what is going to be conveyed and what's not.
03:54
So it might be a good idea to add a note inside of the setup to make sure that you convey exactly where that WCS location is.
04:03
So if we right click on Setup1 and we edit the notes, WCS is centered on the rim with Z at top of stock.
04:17
We'll say OK, we'll go back to OP1, we'll go back to our setup sheet.
04:22
Once again, we'll overwrite what's there and now we can take a look at the summary of what we have and the detailed information.
04:33
So you'll notice in this case, inside of the setup, we have WCS is centered on the rim with Z at top of stock.
04:39
So once again, if we need to convey this information, make sure that we add those notes in the program.
04:44
So that way it can travel with the setup sheet when it gets printed or shared via a share link.
04:51
From here, I want to make sure that any changes are saved, but note nothing has happened to cause us to have to save this file.
04:58
But let's make sure that if you do make any changes, you say before you move on to the next step.
