Setting up a part for multi-turret turning

The following issues must be considered for multi-turret turning:

  • Multi-turret machining can be performed with as few as one setup.
  • The post processor that is loaded while you are creating your part must support multiple turrets.
  • For pinch or follow turning, your post processor must have opposing turrets.
  • For appropriate machine simulation the post processor must have the same turret and spindle description as the machine design file.
  • With the exception of automatically synchronized features, features are automatically associated with the first turret. To move an operation to another turret, you must use the Tool Posts tab.
