okuma probing

[mig]

Hi,

Anybody using probe as referance tool ?

[Greg Williams]

To set tool lengths or work offsets?

Idea to use probe to set work offset - Z0 from some face (top of the table ) then set all tool lengths from same face .

Then automatically set Z0 by using probing macros .

[Greg Williams]

Sounds OK.

So far i can't make it work for the renishaw probe .

Something with my macro

[Greg Williams]

Try this, Note that this is Metric code

 

(TO SET Z ZEROSET)
VC1=1 (WHAT WORK CO-ORDINATE TO USE )
VC2=0 (WHAT RAPID POSITION IN X )
VC3=0 (WHAT RAPID POSITION IN Y )
VC4=5 (WHAT RAPID POSITION IN Z )
VC5=5 (WHAT STEP DOWN DISTANCE TO Z SURFACE)
PRBE=32		 (TOOL NUMBER OF PROBE)
VTOFH[PRBE]=VSTOH[5] (SET TOOL LENGTH OFFSET)
G15 H=VC1
G116 T=PRBE
G0 Z1000
X=VC2 Y=VC3
G56 Z300 H=PRBE
CALL OO18
M130
VNCOM[1]=8
G94
VSAPZ=0
G31 G01 Z=VC4 F3000
IF[VSAPZ NE 0]NER10
G53
G112Z0D=[VC5*-1]H=VC1
M201
GOTO NM02
NER10

Thank you so much Greg

I will try today
