Sounds like a normal renashaw type of probe you have. When probing your first
touch is at a higher speed then the second touch is slower to get exact
position. The
results can be stored in a file. Look at gridprobe.ngc in your nc_files folder
for an
example.

Hi every1,
Thank you for all the response to my question. So this is a very active
community. As our ERP system we have chosen ADempiere
(http://www.adempiere.com). There we have a very active community, too
(and we are an active part of it ;-) ). I know how valuable such a
community is for an

Actually, I think those were my words. EMC doesn't currently
have a feature to scan a surface and then modify the meaning of
a G-code file. There was some discussion once about a general

One possible solution to the probing issue is to write a special
kinematics that interfaces with probing. With the kinematics turned off,
probe the sheet at the desired resolution. A special (new) command would
write the X, Y, Z coordinates of each probed point to the kinematics.
When the kinem
I have to admit I don't have a vast amount of experience of the
internals of EMC but it shouldn't be difficult to probe the whole sheet
then generate a correction matrix that is used before the G-code is
generated. Probing a large sheet would be very time consuming.
Do you need this for engravi

Hi Kirk,
You are asking very good questions. :-)

AXIS does a simple milling time estimate. It is on the
File/Properties window with some other useful information about the
loaded program.
Hi Andreas,
thank you for your quick answer...

yes, depending on what servo-interface you choose the drives can be
controlled either with a -10..+10V analog voltage or with PWM+direction
signals.
Newer interfaces such as canbus or sercos are not supported afaik.
