Hi; im in the process of modifying my micro lathe to cnc, everything works ok , except the automatic tool probing,
it works perfectly in x direction , but it does not work in the z direction, the machine works perfectly manually or automatic
so i think that the tool probing macro is the culprit.
can someone please help?
thank you

Not great at VB but maybe if you attach your macro I can see something or possibly someone else who is better at VB will.
First thoughts may be it is looking for X and Y axis.

Hood; thanks for the prompt answer, the z axis probing works when i command the movement in mdi ( g33 z - .. ) and the axis stop as soon as the probe is touched,
I have to find out how to extract the macro from the screen button, ill keep you posted on this
regards

Operator menu the Edit Button Scripts. The button in question will be flashing and when you click on it the editor will open. Go to file menu then choose SaveAs option and you can save it to a different location with the name you wish, you can then attach it to the forum using the additional options button on the reply page.
From what you are saying regarding it working from MDI then it does sound like the macro is just looking at X and Y moves only.
