GibbsCAM Tech Tip: How to Program Sub Spindle Pickoff Ops

This month’s GibbsCAM Tech Tip shows you how to program sub-spindle pickoff operations using solid models.
One of the benefits of a dual spindle lathe is that you can machine a complete part with a single set-up, which saves time and reduces errors.
But are you using your machine to its full capacity? GibbsCAM allows you to easily pick a part off the main spindle and transfer it to the sub-spindle for a "one and done" set-up.
In this Tech Tip, you will learn how to:
• Position the solids correctly in both the main and sub spindles
• Create geometry to check for proper positioning using Op Sim Rendering
• Create the processes for moving the part from the main spindle to the sub-spindle

My gibbs outputs Z moves in negative direction on sub, how do I overcome that.
