search function edge finder for XYZABC

[v tec]

hi every body

i try to modify the 6axis screen with mach3screen, for apply with robotic

i have find the function for X and Y

but i want add for ZABC


because i want use mach3 with arm robot (6 axis)


this function can help me for calibrate each axis at the 0 co-ord at each cycle

and adapte the speed for this function (not too slow)



and how to use this function in g code


exemple
after the cycle
call edge finder for x
after y
after z
....

for calibrate step by step each axis



sorry i m not programmer, but i can explain at my friend your solution

Nobody for help me?

Really can't say I understand what you are asking for.  Do you want to use the G31 probe function OR can you use the G28.1 homing function.

IF you are just setting the 0.000 point then G28.1 works very well and would be best suited for the application.

THe G28.1 sends the axis back to a reference switch. Then as the switch is found it sets the Machine coords to Zero or a predetermaned point.

THe problem with the G31 is it only records points for XYZA.

Hope that helps, (;-) TP

It was for find the 0 point ( homing for me)

Because each axis can work with -150/+150 degree (not mm)

Without encoder i need to find the 0 point exactly


G31 work for all axis?

For homing the G28.1 function would work the best. Set each axis switch up in config then just use the G28.1 code or RefCombination() in a macro

Thanks and you know howto modify copycat wizard? For write the 6 axis in the g code

bonjour, how work the g31 function?


we need to put wire on the tool, wire on the table, and when the tool touch the table, that create a stop and we can "calibrate" a 0 point for this abscisse, it s an exemple?


i search this function for my small mill
