Looping a Loop?

Good morning all I hope you are all having a good day, I have a program that contains a simple loop to check multiple pockets on a valve rotator body, We have recently set up a few other machines to make the same part and I want to loop the entire program Loop included to check multiple parts at once.

My question is, can you Loop a Loop?
Or will the end point of the Loop checking multiple pockets cancel out the Loop that would be needed at the start of the program.

  • Since we brought up looping a loop. I was wondering if there was a simpler way on something related to this. Engineering has made me a fixture with 2 parts facing in X plus direction. and the other 2 in the X minus direction. Now the way I figure I will do this is, I will create a mirror program, and copy that into my existing program and put all the IF/END or GOTO commands in there that are needed or is there something I don't know about that will run the program mirrored?


    Curiosity kicked in. I make many loops at my company sometimes with up to 4 loops in 1 program, haven't had the opportunity to loop parts the I think you explained it, now I want to try it. Are the HEX parts setup the same way as yours?
  • As long as you mirror it in the right axis
