    NESTING SAMPLES

    I often have to cut 2 sample out of the same piece of material, is there a way by using an offset command of some type to cut the first sample then the machine offset for the next part and cut it it with out having to unclamp the part rotate it or many re set the machine these are the 2 samples i would like to cut in the order i would want to cut them, i would like to nest them together as close as possible even having the cutter pat over lap itself on the insdie cut were the 2 samples are next to each other thanks in advance everyone looking forward to what you come up with i would like to offset on the y-axis towords the front of the machine (mazak 430A)

    Re: NESTING SAMPLES

    This should get you what you need. I combined the the two parts in one program so the tool stays out for the second part.
    Just set your work offsets for each part to how ever close you want so that the tool fits between them.

    (G54 - PART1 WORK OFFSET)
    (G55 - PART2 WORK OFFSET)

    Re: NESTING SAMPLES

    The two samples shown are the same except the etching Z vales and the approach
    Z for the profile. If you post a sketch I'll understand what you need better.
