How to park turrets during sub-spindle docking
Did you know that you can park turrets during sub-spindle docking?
The toolchange position is not necessarily a safe position for sub-spindle docking.
In Edgecam 2009 R2, use the new Move menu Turret Parking command to return the turret to a safe co-ordinate position and index station prior to sub-spindle docking.
Note that you need to insert any required Synchronize Turrets commands – these are not automatically inserted.
If a park instruction is not immediately followed by a move to toolchange on that same turret, you use the Turret Unpark command to generate a move to the toolchange position.
Turret Parking moves will be simulated in Edgecam Simulator.
