Double Pocket Tool Adjust
Double Pocket Tool Adjust
(OP)
Hello,
I am running NX 7.5.1.5 and I am working in CAM. Currently, my company has a millturn machine, and on it's tool carrier, some of the pockets are double pockets (hold 2 different turning tools at offset heights) they use a Y0 callout to index the correct tool to position.
However, I am at a loss as to how to make this show up in the PostProcessor or to make it happen without editing the tool paths manually.
The tool change position needs that Y0 or the machine will either change tools in place and crash into the tailstock, or select the wrong tool and crash into something else.

We have another guy here who has been working on editing the post processor for this machine from the one for the NL1500Y from GTAC's library, but that has taken quite a while.
Thank you for the post.
