Alignment Pins: In the example shown below you see that four (4) holes are machined into the stock.
Here are some techniques you can use to help maintain the proper alignment of the Machining Coordinate System (MCS): In 2-sided machining applications, the stock that is being machined needs to be flipped over on the CNC machine. Let’s explore how multiple setups are used to achieve this goal.Ģ-Sided part machined using multiple Setups Techniques for Alignment when Flipping the Stock Note that the actual part needs to be machined, not a mold cavity. The wooden component in this example requires 3 Axis machining from both the top and the bottom sides. This part design helped Bernie win the Quikrete USB Challenge (see details below). The following is a good example submitted by Bernie Solo from WorksbySolo. This is referred to as 2-sided (or flip) machining. In MecSoft’s CAM modules, this can be achieved by using multiple Setups (Professional & Premium configurations) or by reorienting the part (Standard & Expert configurations). At times, it may be necessary to machine from 2 or more sides of the same part.
