Hi, I've got access to a 3-axis-mill that uses replacable milling motors.
On disadvantage of them is that the used cutters are hand-placed & thus vary in length. Now I was wondering - is there any chance of using the gcode for probing and dynamic tool length compensation to enter a calibration-routine after the tool has been switched? We would of course need a "inverted touch probe" thingy - e.g. capacitive sensor plate, or something like that - to move the cutter to & get feedback over the tool length. This most probably would also involve using two coordinate systems, on for the piece and one for the length probing. Any suggestions?
