About Part Sequencing Scenarios

This describes different Part Sequencing scenarios.

This page discusses:

Case 1, Two Setups : 1 > 2

This describes a Machining Setup.1, then Setup.2.

The Initial condition is:

  • Setup.1 is attached
  • Setup.2 is detached

The steps for:

  • Machining of Setup.1

  • Programming of Setup.1





  • Part Sequencing of Setup.1
    • Move the counter spindle

    • Attach the Setup to the counter spindle
    • Detach the Setup to the main spindle

    • Move the counter spindle to move stock from Setup.1 to Setup.2

  • The Machining Actions for Setup.2

    4Move to Setup.2MotionCounterSpindle

Expected Simulation:

  • Only one stock is shown
  • The programming Setup.1 and Setup.2 machine the same stock

Case 2, Three Setups : 1 > 2 > 3

This describes a Machining Setup.1, Machining Setup.2, then Machining Setup.3.

The Initial condition is:

  • Setup.1 is attached
  • Setup.2, Setup.3 are detached

The steps for:

  • Machining Setup.1

  • Programming of Setup.1

    Part Sequencing Setup.1
    • Move the counter spindle
    • Attach the Setup to the counter spindle and detach to the main spindle

    • Move the counter spindle to move stock from Setup.1 to Setup.2
    • Attach the Setup to the main spindle
    • Detach the Setup to the counter spindle
  • The Machining Actions for Setup.2

Case 3, Three Setups : 1 > 2,3

This describes a Machining Setup.1 and Setup.3, then Machining Setup.2.

The Initial condition is:

  • Setup.1 and Setup.3 are attached
  • Setup.2 is detached

The steps for:

  • Machining Setup.1 and Setup.3

  • Programming Setup.1 and Setup.3



  • Part Sequencing Setup.1
    • Detach the Setup.3
    • Move the Counter Spindle
    • Attach the main Setup to the Counter Spindle
    • Detach the main Setup to the main spindle
