HIYA Steve I believe yall missed the point entirely. PROBING is very different than all the other uses for G31 and YES I have used it on cylindrial grinders as well as torque limit skip.
WHY not let the machine do the work and take the load off the programmer/operator. Doing an error check(nontrip) at the machine level should be Easy compared to writing TONS of error checking in a probing routine. The machine is ALREADY looking at the trip flag if it does not trip simply allow it to error instead of continue.
Many probers will thank you for it
Simply make it an option that is set in systems parameters. You can have it or NOT just change the parameter value.
AND that is all from me on the subject, If you don't get it you just don't get it. After about 40 years of this stuff I guess I was wrong all this time (;-)
(;-) TP
