Typical VMC setups
| Setup | Post feature |
|---|---|
| Single vice | Standard output, one work offset |
| Multiple vices / fixtures | Repeat operations per work offset (G54, G55, G56...) |
| Op10 and Op20 in one cycle | Two setups, one program, correct offsets |
| 4th axis add-on | A-axis output and clamping |
| Probe installed | Automatic setup and inspection calls |
Multi-offset output example
T1 M06
G54 G00 X10. Y10. S9000 M03
G43 H01 Z25. M08
(... operation on vice 1 ...)
G55 G00 X10. Y10.
(... same operation on vice 2 ...)
G56 G00 X10. Y10.
(... same operation on vice 3 ...)Staying on the same tool across all vices avoids repeated tool changes.
Shop-friendly details
- Tool list header with lengths and holders.
- Comments showing operation names.
- Optional stops after critical operations.
- Safe restart blocks at every tool.
- Warm-up program calls for high-speed spindles.
Common VMC controllers in India
FANUC, Siemens SINUMERIK, Mitsubishi, Haas and Fagor are all widely used on VMCs in India, often on locally built machines with builder-specific M-codes. We configure the post for the exact controller and builder combination.
A VMC post that fits the shop saves minutes on every job, every day.
