Hi guys -
I use Fusion 360 CAD/CAM with a 2005 Fadal VMC. So here's the deal. Since I got the machine, I've machined parts in a vice. To set X/Y on my machine I use a Haimer 3D Sensor to set X0 and Y0, and for Z I touch my tools off on top of my stock using a piece of paper. Old school I know, but this mill doesn't have the 20k gauge the 2013 Haas I had at uni did. Anyway, I've set my WCS XYZ0 to the corner of my stock and the *top* of my stock and I've been set.
However, I just machined a fixture plate. Great, now I can do part flips. The only problem is setting the WCS. I need my X0 and Y0 to be set to the notch I machined on my fixture plate. But Z0 still needs to be the top of my stock, I think. I'm having trouble doing this in Fusion. I select the top of my stock as my Z0 and then Y and X, but I get the WCS at the point of the notch on my fixture plate. What I think I need is my WCS floating in the air above where it is pictured, at Z0, but X an Y0 are at the notch in my fixture plate.
- Does this make sense, and how can I get fusion to do this?
- Alternatively, could I just touch my tools off on the top of my fixture plate instead of the top of my stock?
