    sheet work, running many of the same parts on large sheet

    i need to know the sequence of steeps for running many of the same parts on a sheet. my question is: how do i get the first tool to run its path on first part then second then third and so on, then the second tool to run its path on first part then second then third and so on.Then third tool, fourth tool and so on.
    do i use GOTO N100, and M99 statements along with G91 statements ??????????????
    Thanks Dave F.

    I put my parts in a subroutine, making the last couple of lines moving to the location for the next part.

    You need some kind of nesting software to accomplish it the way you want to. I know Amada turret presses us software call AS400. Other than that you will need to program each tool path for each part manually. I would open your cam software and create a dummy border the size of your sheet then copy and past the parts you want to make on it. Finishing with lay each tool path individually. Hope it helps and good luck.
