Measure Multiple Parts on Fixture

07-09-2019, 04:58 PM

I have ten parts mounted in a row on a fixture. I want to pick up the first part, print my report, and then move to the next part using a new alignment for the second part. I want to continue doing this for all ten parts. I can get the program to run but it offsets my x values by .625" (the spacing of parts) I can't seem to figure this out. I hope I'm missing something simple. Below is my code. I am grouping what I want to do for each pin so I only opened up the first group two groups. The remaining groups are the same as the 2nd group. I cut out the first part of the program to save some space.

I think you need to recall your alignment and re-origin X within the DO loop. Not sure what you are doing with the code in your readlines, but looping 10x without updating your X origin within that loop, will do just that... Output 10x the looped offset, whatever you are feeding X as, via the readlines.
