General Mach Discussion / Re: MACH as a CMM machine
« on: August 12, 2011, 02:20:38 PM »
I have been working up ideas and code for a CMM page for mach. I need to know if you have any special things you would like to see MACH do as a CMM type machine.( Coordinate measurement machine).

It could do things like probe a hole and set center of circle and give you the diameter.

G68 CR based on the use of a probe to set a vise, or between the COC of two holes, or from any axis plane ,etc

Length between two points and a return to center . 

Just need some more input.(;-) TP

OK I just found this thread on the artsoft forum..  what ever happened to the  'Mach3 as a CMM'  effort  (NOW FIVE YEARS LATER)...???

This is EXACTLY what I need to do...
Is it finished...  did you guys give up...?

PLS ADVISE

Bought Mach3 (well..  came with a mill I bought..  trying to familiarize myself with the software...)

IS there (I thought I saw somewhere... I thought I saw... I thought I saw )   a dictionary or term look up web page posted here somewhere...  about terms used in Mach3 and CNC in general...  was I seeing things...

folks  talking about "zed position'   and "z axis position" are about to drive me nuts...   (am I already...??)   8-)   thanks for any help

Pleeeze.. ???

Thanks in advance
