I have a friend in my area (Knoxville, TN) that went out of his way this morning to explain some things to me via a Skype Voice Chat. XNew = GetDro(0) - 3 'probe to current position - 3 inches This is the current script for the X- arrow button: Rem move back to the hit point incase there was an overshootĬode "F" &CurrentFeed 'restore original feed rate XNew = GetVar(2000) 'read the touch point While IsMoving() 'wait for prob move to complete XNew = GetDro(0) + 3 'probe to current position + 3 inches If GetOemLed (825) 0 Then 'Check to see if the probe is already grounded or faultyĬode "(Probe plate is grounded, check connection and try again)" 'this goes in the status bar if aplicableĬode "G4 P1" 'Pause 1 second to give time to position probe plateĬurrentFeed = GetOemDRO(818) 'Get the current feedrate to return to later Rem VBScript for probing in the x direction This is the current script for the X+ arrow button: But I really am clueless about the script language and codes.
Thanks in advance for taking a look at them.įrom what I see in these scripts, it does not make the corrections described above. If changes need to be made, I should be able to edit Y+ and Y- the same way. My tools are in the Mach Tool Table as recommended.Ī friend walked me through the Z script last night and I now have some understanding of what the script says but not enough to write the script from scratch. My drawings already have compensated for the tool offset. It is important that this radius correction only be applied for the touch off script. (2) I need all the X and Y arrow button scripts to reference the tool selected in the tool information window and make the radius correction. (not for X- and Y-) My touch plate is 0.0635 inches thick. (1) I need the scripts associated with the X+ and Y+ arrow buttons to make the compensation for my touch plate thickness for X+ and Y+ only.
Now I need to determine if the individual scripts for the X and Y arrow buttons accomplish the following. There is a script associated with each of these XYZ arrow buttons. I’m not sure if this is the technique or sequence that most use or not but it seems to work. I zeroed each axis after touching and after completing the touch routine for XYZ, I selected "Go To Z" and then selected "Regen" and finally “Cycle Start”. Īfter experimenting, I became confident that I could touch off of X, Y and Z using the XYZ arrow buttons. I do not have any preference on the screen set but it does have the arrow buttons that I want to use. To see this specific screen you can click on the link. There is also a Z arrow that I already have a good script for.
There are four arrows, X+, X-, Y+ and Y. The following refers to buttons that are found on the modified Blue Screen Set. It’s a neat button and I may add a all in one script to it later on. Now that I have played with the “Auto Tool Zero” button, I would prefer to check one axis at a time. I just want to use the touch off plate for X - Y and Z. Note the Blue screen has a neat setup for a center finder device but I do not need this. (all tricks and techniques are appreciated)
Create cnc touch plate how to#
I do not know how to make screens or scripts and I would like to download a screen and script that does this. Objective: I want to use my touch off plate to find X and Y and be able to input the tool radius into a correction window. Edit: I just learned that you can add a line into the script for touch plate thickness but I still think I will need a window to input tool radius. I probably have this all wrong but the way I see it, the Blue Screen Set allows you to make corrections to the touch plate thickness for Z via a input box on the screen but I do not see any input box for corrections for tool radius on this screen for X and Y. Currently I am using the "Blue Screen" and have a script loaded into the Auto Tool Zero Button. I have a touch off plate set up and working correctly. I have a CNC router that I purchased recently.
