I don’t know what the dressing system looks like, but if it’s motorized in both axis( cut depth and motion across the wheel) then why don’t you touch off the dressing point? You could do an initial homing when machine starts, and again after each dressing operation. Use the info to determine dressing point depth of cut and also to infer actual wheel diameter. You could also use it to catch the event of a diamond point being knocked loose, and alarm the operator. _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
