    Pinch Turning in PartMarker

    Hey there, I am hoping someone has already tried or has successfully done this before.

    I am trying to program a pinch turning path in Partmaker. My problem is that I will need to use a boring bar in an end working station to follow my gang turning tool. Has anyone tried to do this and if so is it possible to program this in PartMaker? What steps would I need to complete to make this happen?

    Any help anyone can give is appreciated

    Thanks!

    Pinch Turn w/ end working

    Hi Pac,

    Sounds like you have a Cit L or Star SR machine. Those generally allow for M2 mode with the End Working normally being a Drilling style process. This is the way you would need to set something like this up. If your on maintenance we would be happy to help out with any posting issues, but that may give you a start.

    Sorry, Yes we are using a Citizen L32.

    If I where to check the pinch turning box in the Profile Group Parameters window how does Partmaker know where or what location the second tool is? Is there a way to tell it which tool location the second tool is at?

    For the CitL there is no "Pinch Turning". You will create 2 processes in PartMaker and at the Process table you would use the "M2S0" mode without checking the pinch turning check box.
