Auto Mounting

The auto-mounting system in GO2cam intelligently manages the placement of tools on both the spindle and turret, streamlining setup and optimizing machining efficiency.

How It Works

For tools without predefined mounting positions or constraints, GO2cam allocates them to available slots according to the order of operations. Tools that have specific tool numbers or location requirements are mounted accordingly, with strict enforcement of any constraints defined during tool creation.

This logic applies to both spindles and turrets:

• If a tool has an assigned number, it is mounted in that position.

• If not, the system mounts tools in sequence, ensuring no conflicts occur.

Auto Mounting Rules

GO2cam uses a combination of real-time analysis and priority rules to make intelligent mounting decisions:

• Spindle Assignment and Cloning
  Tools are matched to the appropriate spindle (main or sub) and cloned across turrets if needed.

• Cutting Priority Management
  Roughing tools are prioritized for earlier mounting, followed by finishing tools to maximize machining flow.

• Tool Geometry & Collision Avoidance
  The system validates tool geometry and checks for interference with the part, fixture, or machine components before confirming placement.

• Operation-Based Sequencing
  When no predefined position exists, tools are mounted in the order they appear in the operation list, ensuring efficient transitions.
