Touch plate question
« on: June 06, 2022, 10:48:38 PM »
Hi guys,

When using a touch plate to find the zero position of your work piece. Does the touch plate also account for the angle that the work piece is off from your CNC axis?

If not, what would be a way of the CNC determining this angle and accounting for it in the G-Code?

Thanks,
Harry

Surely it's obvious that it doesn't!  If you mean the angle of the surface relative to the spindle axis, you can determine this by doing multiple measurements at different x and y positions and doing some maths.
