Hi There,
New to the forum. Not a "Noob" Been programing and machining for 20 plus years from 3 axis to 5 axis.
Had a question on our KIA SKT21LMS. I have turret postitions 5 & 10 on the turret that have (2) 1" holes for holding tool bars. Is it possible to set mulitple tool offsets on this machine for the same turret position? Do parameters need to be changed for these second tool positions? I have tried calling T0505 to the set the first tool. Then T0515 for the second offset and when the Q setter is pulled down it wants to over write T0505 offsets.
We do some smaller parts and would like to utilize these positions to reduce the cycle time & number of turret rotations to complete these parts.
I have looked in the manuals but there is very limited information on tooling offsets. Plus add to the fact of the horrible Korean to English translation & you spend most of your time laughing so hard from reading it.
Thanks for the help.
