I am struggling with making multiple parts on a fixture. For instance I have a fixture that holds ten parts. I would like to program the first one then tell the machine to make them all. This was very simple on Fanuc and Yasnac controls. I have tried using multiple "G' alignments but when I do that it messes with the tool diameter offsets for some reason. Unfortunately I am kind of old school and like to program manually. Seems also that my machine does not have ay kind of CAM program on it. When I try to open BOBCAM nothing happens. Is there a better operating system for people like me? I really need to figure this out before I sell the machine and buy something that works the way I want. Here is an example of a program that I have used on Fanuc based machines. Take a look at the simplicity of using the G25 to do multiple parts.
