    The manufacturing process

    This project allows you to practice many of the Turning concepts you learnedin the student manual. Its purpose is to guide you through the generalworkflow process. This project assumes you are familiar with basic Turning functionality, and therefore does not give detailed step-by-step instructions. If necessary, you can refer back to the Student Manual for details.

    In this project, you will create a two-spindle Turning program. You will definethe spindle setup and reference the in-process workpiece (IPW) at the secondspindle. You will create a program that cuts one end of the part (1), transfersthe part to the other spindle, and then cuts the other end of the part (2). Youwill verify your program by visualizing the material removal as you createthe operations. Finally, you will Post Process and create shop documentation.

     3 Machining environment andspindle setup

    Before you define part geometry, blank geometry, specify tools, or createoperations, you must define the machining environment and the spindlesetup. Spindle1 has already been defined for you. You will define Spindle2.

    Step 1:   Open   tmp_piston_mfg_asmb_1  from the workbook_partsdirectory.

    Step 2:   Rename the part ***_piston_mfg_asmb_1, where *** representsyour initials.

    Step 3:   Display the Geometry View of the Operation Navigator and expandthe objects.

    Step 4:   Double-click MCS_SPINDLE in the Operation Navigator and clickCSYS Dialog next to Specify MCS. Notice that the origin of theMCS defining this spindle is centered on the left face of the part.

    Only the  first spindle has been defined.

    Step 5:   Create an MCS defining the second spindle. Be sure you position itcentered on the left face of the part.
