How do you turn a part upside down and maintain yur past alignments? Is there a way to stitch things together or do you have to run 2 separate programs? Can't find anything in the hel file on this.
We have one of these too, however because we cannot guarantee it is level or the same height once it has been flipped over (we work to very small tolerances), we have to do an alignment again for the Z axis anyway, and so we do the Y and X at the same time too. Our components aren't very heavy, so they can 'float' at different heights in the chuck if not put back exactly the same.
That would be a difference in our parts... Mine are mostly iron castings weighing in excess of 20lbs. Our tolerances aren't huge, but at 50 microns, the weight is pretty good at keeping us in the same general area.
