VB and the development of wizards / retrieve value of tool radius
« on: August 02, 2009, 03:30:23 AM »
I want to use whatever tool I have in the machine as a probe. I want the tool radius automatically taken off the probe touch point. You can do it by manually by inserting the measurement into your probeing program, but I want it automatically done with what ever tool is loaded. To so so I need the value. Is it assigned to a variable in Mach3. If so I can call that from the program.
How I use the tool as a probe is the table is insulated on a sheet of perspex. The screws that hold it down are in plastic inserts I made.The machine has one lead and the table has the other from the probe input and as such when they touch it signals contact. I don't have to change from probe to tool all the time.
Hope someone can help?
