MP10 on NH4000DCG

[seblarson]

Hello, I'm new to the forum and rather new to CNC machining. I have been recently setting up a used '06 Mori Seiki NH4000dcg, MSX-501III controller. We have a renishaw MP10 that came with the machine. I have calibrated the probe already, but I cannot get it to complete a proper measurement cycle. In the x&y planes, I have tried finding points but after it contacts the part it clears away then comes crashing back into the part. If I'm right, which I'm probably not, it's trying to put the center of the stylus at the new found zero. I'm using a G320 cycle for this.. any suggestions??

I have about 8 of the Mori Seiki NH4000 with Renishaws MP10 Probes, but I don't use their programs. If you can afford it I would get Inspection Plus macros from Renishaw for around $1000 you cant beat it, they are very user friendly very easy to use and will give you a more capability than what you get from Mori Seiki.

Duely noted. Thank you for the input and your suggestions. Unfortunately this is not my machine, just responsible for programming, tooling, and fixturing the thing. Don't know if it's worth it to the owner's to purchase the software... oh well not my problem anymore. Thank you
