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

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??
