Title: How to use a touch plate in Mach?
Post by: lcvette on March 30, 2012, 05:10:30 PM
I have purchased both a touch plate and a digitizing probe and would like to use these to go through and set all of my tool lengths is possible (using TTS quick change tooling with Power Drawbar).

I had assumed it would be relatively simple to do but haven't found much information about it.  a video would be very helpful if there is one out there but most i came across on Youtube were just showing it working not how to get there.  Any help greatly appreciated!

Hi,
All those features are supported in the MachStdMill package.
See www.CalypsoVentures.com for more info. The videos on the site demo how MSM is used for both tool TLO measurement during a tool change as well as the most extensive set of built in probing operations I'm aware of.

Disclosure: I'm the product's author, so you may consider my opinion biased, but MSM already does all that you mentioned.
