Multiple tools in milling operation

[egeg]

Hello everyone,

I want to define a milling operation in KUKA|prc. Such a milling operation requires more that one tool to be executed, so I'll have a certain part of the operation executed with one tool and then the tool mut be changed to do another part of the operation, then it may be changed again and so on. Is this possible to do this in KUKA|prc? I was not able to find related information...Many thanks!!

Hello,

You can change tools during a process and combine multiple tools. You could even create a tool with one tip on one side and another tip on another side.
Just take care that KUKA|prc is not a dedicated milling solution, you can create custom strategies yourself (which many users are doing with much success, but it needs some advanced Grasshopper knowledge to do so) or import G-code from e.g. Fusion (with the member or commercial version, or by writing your own importer).

Hope that helps!
Best,
Johannes
