Create a setup sheet and NC program

Create a setup sheet and NC program.

00:06

After completing this video, you'll be able to

00:08

create an NC program for a setup, create a setup sheet and post process an NC program

00:16

in fusion 3 60. Let's carry on with our design. From our previous example.

00:20

At this point, we've added a machine for machine simulation to two,

00:24

but we still need to create our NC program and set up sheet.

00:28

So let's take a look at how adding that machine is going to affect that process.

00:32

First,

00:33

let's expand the NC programs folder noting that we have an

00:36

OP one NC program and one for our soft jaws.

00:40

We're gonna create a new NC program making sure that

00:43

two is currently active.

00:45

Note that we now have a machine listed and use machine configuration.

00:50

We do need to verify and make sure that we are using the

00:54

next gen control or any specific post that you are using for your machine.

00:59

The name and number is still going to come

01:01

from the setup and that information is still true.

01:03

And once again, I'm posting these to a local folder,

01:06

but you can post it to fusion team.

01:08

In addition

01:09

we're gonna open the NC file in the editor afterwards.

01:12

And because we're now using a machine configuration,

01:15

it's a good idea to go back through and double check

01:17

any of the settings that may have been toggled on.

01:20

For example, use chip transport is now on. By default, when we have the hoop

01:25

of two selected

01:26

as we look through, we would also want to double check things like formats,

01:30

noting that we have a tool list on and show notes is on as well

01:36

in the operations.

01:36

We want to make sure that we are using all of the tool

01:39

paths in two and that the work offset is two or G 55.

01:45

We're gonna select OK to create this NC

01:46

program and we're gonna rename this once again.

01:49

The names of the NC programs are really only going to be beneficial to you.

01:53

So make sure that you use a naming convention. That makes sense

01:57

note that now that we've created our NC program, the machine is currently not shown.

02:02

If we select the machine inside of our

02:04

two, it will show the machine.

02:06

And when we select the top level of two, it does stay there.

02:10

We can show and hide this at any point in time

02:12

and it will be important that we understand where the

02:15

machine and coordinate system is going to be located.

02:18

Now that we have our

02:20

two NC program. Let's right click and select the post process.

02:24

Remember that we are still using the NC program.

02:27

We're representing G 55 with that W CS offset of two.

02:31

And we just wanna make sure that we do verify that we are

02:34

using the correct tools and any program changes that we may be incorporating.

02:39

For example,

02:40

the engineering change order that we incorporated in a previous example,

02:44

we're going to close this and we also want to create our set up sheet.

02:49

Remember that the setup sheet in the case of using an NC program

02:53

is going to be saved in the same location as your data set

02:56

because we currently added the machine data. In this case, the

02:60

SVF two,

03:01

I want to go back and go up a level and make

03:03

sure that I save it with the data where I'm programming.

03:06

My part

03:07

note that because we have the machine now our view is going to be very

03:12

zoomed out because the machine is not going to be visible on the setup sheet.

03:16

So if we need to change that, we can go back and zoom back into our model

03:20

as we scroll down, we simply want to make sure that all the information is correct.

03:24

The W CS offset the location of the coordinate

03:27

system and the information about each of the tools.

03:31

Keep in mind that with show notes turned on

03:33

that any notes on tool pass will be displayed.

03:36

But remember the ones for the setups will not.

03:39

So if you are including any specific notes about individual tool path.

03:43

Make sure that show notes is on in your NC program settings.

03:47

If you do want to make sure to push a specific note,

03:50

you can always use the setup and manual NC option

03:54

at this point.

03:54

Everything should be saved, but let's double check,

03:57

make sure that we don't need to save and then we can move on

03:59

and get to machining the second operation of our part.
