Hello, i would like to know which CAM-technique is
appropriate for indexing machining. We want to get
machining code, where the output coordinates are related
to different CSYS, not to a unique CSYS.
Many times happens with CAM programs that must be
modified by the machine operator. For example, you need
to change drilling depth
See attached image. It shows a simple part with holes in
two different planes. The code we want is something like
this: (see image)

...
(CSYS1)
...
DRILLING CYCLE (PARAMETERS)
X12.5 Y25
X12.5 Y50
...
...
(CSYS2)
...
DRILLING CYCLE (PARAMETERS)
X15 Y15
X55
Y40
X15
...
What would be the appropriate way of working with Pro/NC
to accomplish this:
- Should I create different operations for each setup or
- Should I create different sequences setting local CSYS
for that sequence..
Is this a task for the postprocessor?
