Below is an embedded version of the Penta Simulator with the Clamp - Complete.ngc file loaded. You can use this embedded version of the Penta Simulator to experiment with modifying the g-code program and removing completed tool operations.

Use the following parameters to properly position the Clamp part in the simulator.

Tool 6 Z offset = -3.3427

Tool 25 Z offset = -3.3427

G54 Work Offsets:

X = -1.1723

Y = 1.7449

Z = 0.9225
