    Question Lathe in Edgecam: Spindle-docking from Sub to Main

    I’m setting up a Mori Seiki lathe in Edgecam.
    In practice we often start machining a job on the sub spindle, later we we’re spindle-docking and we continue machining the same part on the main spindle.

    (The order of machining, starting at main or sub, depends on several factors such as tool-length, product-accuracy and reachability around chucks.)

    Does somebody know how to dock product + stock from sub to main?

    As of Edgecam 2009 R1 docking from sub spindle to main is NOT supported. Give your reseller a call and have him put it in as a enhancement request.
