Re: [Emc-users] Touch Probe

Is there a provision for tool setting a face mill or a tool with a different center height than the outside diameter? Or do those have to be done manually? I imagine the spindle orientation would also matter for most tool setters due to the spacing of the inserts. Matthew Herd

Re: [Emc-users] Touch Probe

Sorry for the delay in replying. I missed your post. I have attached the files. I have a Modbus front panel with a bunch of buttons. One (connected to digital input 0) enables/disables auto tool set. Only tools 1-100 will auto toolset. My probe is T101. Another button directly calls the tool

Re: [Emc-users] Touch Probe

My copy of the probe screen is I guess V1. It's probably about 3-4 years old. Having a tool setter is nice. Some time back I picked up a couple of Renishaw MP3 probes so I use one as probe and one permanently mounted to the table as a tool setter. I have a subroutine that runs on M6 which

Re: [Emc-users] Touch Probe

Are you using their recommended probe screen? I'm using an older version of that probe screen and have had a few issues with it. If a probe fails it can store up moves and execute them next time you try probing. If a probe fails press stop a few times to clear the moves. I got caught out by

I did this in EMC 1. At that time I had to write a special program to do this. The program talked to emc through NML and wrote out the g-code file. However I believe this can now be done in EMC2 with just a g-code sequence. Be advised that it takes a long time to probe even a small area in
