Firstly... apologies for posting this again, as I know there are many posts relating to the subject!
However, I'm really struggling to find a solution to what I'm looking for. I get very close, by utilising various macros and scripts found here
on the forum. The trouble is, I have very limited experience and knowledge of scripts and macros but willing to learn. If someone can point
me in the right direction, in layman's terms I'd be extremely grateful.
I have built/modified a small mill which works just fine. I have a Kress 1050 spindle with a Sorotec ATC and 8 position tool-bank. I've had help
with modifying my own screenset to include a tool selector system, which picks up a desired tool (Offsets1.jpg). I have a touch-sensor (Digitizer)
which works fine with a simple G31 script/code. The sensor triggers at 7.6mm above the spoilboard (or underside of the material being machined).
On my Offsets screen, I have set some UserDRO's for the position of the sensor (G53 X10.5 Y52.9). Not sure how to set the Z value yet.
What I am requiring is a facility to automatically measure the height of each tool.
I hope someone can help me!
Thanks in advance.
