Gene, I think what you want to do now is generate a g-code file that moves to all the points on the grid of the region that you want to scan. The fragment below shows raster in y direction at .1 unit intervals, from a rapid height of .5 in z (PROBEOPEN probefile.txt) G00 X 1.0 Y 1.0 Z 0.5 G38.

Hello, I started tuning my new system using halscope and plotting ferror, commanded position, and feedback position. Things are going well, however I can not decipher the units of the vertical scale. It shows ferror in m/div this can not be meters. Thanks Richard ---

Greetings Guys; Dean, I have that probe built, many thanks for the idea, and now waiting on digikey for the optical stuff, I bought 5 of them so I can make some limit switches too. Here I'm working from memory, the printout is out in the shop, so I could have the numbers wrong. One concern I

Gentlemen, A lights out machine using probing will have XY registers for each tool's probing position. This will allow any tool to be probed. They will usually probe the tool after every tool change to detect broken tools. This will also verify the correct tool is in the spindle. An operato

Hi, I proposed the problem of manual tool change and offset determination some time ago, I have a small mill (always an MF70) without tool holders, so I'm very interested. I'm happy to see there is a first solution for the problem now. Maybe I will be able to test it in a couple of days. thanks
