    Set Up QC Reminders on your Tormach

    11/ 02/ 2021

    Any time you are machining parts that interface with other components (spoiler alert: almost ALL parts!), tolerances can be critically important! Equally as important is checking these tolerances – the more frequently you do so, the less likely you are to scrap – or even worse, send out - bad parts.

    Spot checking parts through a batch is a great way to build a process to ensure that dimensions remain consistent and within tolerance across a large batches.

    How to set up QC reminders in PathPilot

    PathPilot offers a simple and elegant way to build an excellent process to check part!

    By creating a new subroutine and using PathPilot’s built-in part counter, a g-code script can be added to your .nc file (either directly or using Fusion’s Manual NC in your CAM setup) which creates a prompt in the control every X parts with a reminder to QC the last part made.    

    Even better, leverage PathPilot’s ability to embed photos and videos to offer a visual reminder for critical part features, surface finishes and more.

    Still Interested? Here’s how to Set Up!

    A sample G-code file can be found on our NYC CNC page here!
