1 alignment, 2 parts?

I've got 2 parts, mirrored in Y, on one fixture. The fixture has 3 tooling balls, each with 2 sets of coordinates, one set for each part. Is there a way for me to write both parts into one program without having to pick up the tooling balls more than once?

  • Why? They're left and right hand parts, so measure them separately as right and left hand parts.


    They are produced together at the same time and they both go on 1 fixture. I was hoping to program them without having to write 2 separate programs. It would be easier for the program to measure 1 part and then the other before I have to switch the parts out to measure the next set and it looks like I can do that, I just have to dcc the balls more than the one time I was hoping to.
