Extended Work Offsets - Know Your DN, Episode 10

[@createacrawler]

Can you please do a video on pallet pools? How to utilize a start program to manage the assignment of programs to pallets when running a pallet pool with more than two pallets. More specifically the NHP-4000 with rotary pallet system.

[@WesShelby]

Please do a video on the dynamic fixture offset feature

[@markchristopher5809]

Thanks Wes. That topic has been asked about some and I will make sure it's in the pile of suggestions going forward.

Hey, I've been loving these videos! I wonder if you could do a video on Dynamic Work Offsets. Specifically on a horizontal. We have 3x 5500 that I would like to use it on. Thanks so much!

[@markchristopher5809]

Currently we don't have that one in the que for recording but I will add it to the growing list of topics that we have. I will tell you that we will have some new videos coming out in May that will hopefully help you out. Thank you for the suggestion!

[@akaSuperJimmy]

Thanks for the reply Mark! I look forward to watching the new videos! BTW you do a really good job.

Any idea for increasing number of work offset number? Can it be more than 48?

[@markchristopher5809]

@@karamuradt You can. It is an option from Fanuc. You would need to contact your local Fanuc rep to have it added to your control.

[@marcusditsworth2299]

Can I add a probing cycle to my program? For example if I’m machining castings and I want my work offsets changed to the castings.

[@markchristopher5809]

Absolutely. Renishaw has macro programs you can call for probing and will write those coordinates to the desired work offset.
