massproduction

Post by Lauris »

Hello,

I made CAD + CAM. Using a CNC router and would like to make with step 100mm 20 pcs same product from 12mm playwood sheet.
Is it possible to make massproduction in in Centroid UI or i need to make CAM with full layout?

If you are using offline CAD/CAM instead of the Intercon conversational, then Intercon's Repeat function does not apply. You will either need to do a shift and repeat via G code (see G52 and M98 in chapters 12 and 13, for example); or you will have to find out how your particular CAD/CAM software provides repeats.

it seems that i need to make a fresh install and add intercon.
Does it lost all my machine settings if i will make new install

I use Fusion 360 but it will be nice when my CNC operator can change near the machine how many pcs he will mill.

Intercon is installed standard. You should find it under F5/CAM from the main screen.
