Title: Set tool length
Post by: milkof on May 23, 2006, 04:22:40 PM

Hi, I have a question for you.

I have a sensor for set a tool length but I don’t know how can use it.

Is it possible make a automatism for use it?

There Is a macro?

Could tell me more about?

Try this script and please test this in the air.

Zpos = GetDRO(2)
Code ("G31 Z" & Zpos -1.00 & " F10.0") 'Probe  down one unit
Zpos = GetVar(2002) 'Get the point where the probe hit
Code ("G00 Z" & Zpos) 'Rapid to where the probe hit
while Ismoving()
Wend
Call SetDRO(2,0)'Set the Z to zero

Thanks
