Well lets see here - are you talking about an automated Z touch off plate with
a script/macro of some kind that moves the tool to a certain machine coordinate
and touches a plate, triggering the probe circuit and identifying the new Z
offset value to use then returns to machining after finishing a manual tool
change? Or are you looking to adjust the tool table file and use that with a
rigid holder system that maintains a repeatable Z? Some details of your
machine would be helpful - ie: R8 collets, Morse Taper collets, CATxx or NMTBxx
holders, etc.
I know I have seen something of the Z touch off plate and a set of G-code
commands that would be a starting point of a script/macro to set the Z offset
but I'd need to do a bit of searching as I saw that well before I had my
machine up and running and I haven't finished the basic stuff I want let alone
gotten into more automation. It's still off in the horizon for me. Hopefully
someone else can lend some more help.
