General Mach Discussion / Re: Tool measure macro
« on: March 06, 2007, 07:35:01 PM »
On the measured value error, if you come at the switch at the same feedrate each time, wouldn't it be consistent enough that if you included a 'Switch Error' DRO or hard code that error in the macro so that it could then be subtracted from the new position.
I use a Z zero touch off plate that measures 0.3125" but I have to fool Mach with a value of 0.3040" and it's always on the mark.
Do these switches have a +/- tolerance that may cause the problem?
Just a thought, I've never dealt with one before.
