General Mach Discussion / Re: Z zero touch probe issues
« on: January 15, 2019, 11:13:47 AM »
Thank you very much!  I will try that this evening.  From what I understand, I enter my sensor thickness into the "gauge block" in the offset screen, the one in the upper left hand side?

Just to be clear, I am not putting any blame on anyone or any particular script.  I know they work for a lot of people, and as I stated, it did work at one point, so I'm sure it's something I am overlooking.

General Mach Discussion / Z zero touch probe issues
« on: January 15, 2019, 08:32:34 AM »
First time poster here.  I loaded a z zero script into the auto zero button and it worked great.  I then felt I would rather have a script that did a double measure, so I found a script that was posted that from what I understood was from BigTex, but now when the tool hits the sensor, instead of just retracting the specified distance, the spindle retracts all the way back up until it hits the home switch and then faults out.  I deleted everything and re-installed the original script that worked perfect, and the spindle still raises all the way up.  Any recommendations about what could be the problem?  Here is the script that I entered.

Rem   VBScript To probe In the z axis

If GetOemLED(801) Then            'NOTE: This script is for Inches as Native Units

   If GetOemLed (825) <> 0 Then       'check to see if the probe is already grounded or faulty
      Message "Z-Plate is grounded, check connection and try again" 'this goes in the status bar if aplicable
   Else
      Code "G4 P1"         'pause 1 seconds to give time to position probe plate
      PlateOffset = GetUserDRO(1151)   'get plate offset DRO
      CurrentFeed = GetOemDRO(818)    'get the current feedrate to return to later
      Code "F12"         'slow down feedrate to 12 ipm

   Rem   Probe In the z direction
   ZNew = GetOEMDro(802) - 6      'probe move to current z - 6 inches
      Code "G31Z" &ZNew
      While IsMoving()         'wait For probe move to finish
      Sleep(10)
      Wend

      ZNew = GetVar(2002)       'read the touch point
