CVI MachStdMill (MSM) / Probing
« on: December 04, 2010, 10:50:43 PM »
Dave.
I have just started working with the probing routines with not much success. The edge probes work with the exception of probe X+. It moves to the edge and the probe light comes on and immediately I get "X+ face no found". The vertical touch probe works.
I tried to calibrate the probe using the cal routine. Probe moves to X+,touches, probe light on, retracts to middle, moves to X-, touches, probe light comes on and immediately I get "1st circle measurement failed". What does that mean?
Next tried to find center of circle. Moves to X+, touches, probe light on, retracts to center, moves to X-, touches, probe light on, immediately "circle edge not in X/Y distance". I have the X/Y dist set larger than the circle diameter. Also, I am using the latest MSM and latest Mach.
Any ideas??
