General Mach Discussion / Re: Macro for Z-axis probe

« on: September 25, 2006, 03:47:52 AM »

Hi Marco.
This macro is in the Mach3 screen "program run" - "tool information" and i put it in the button "auto tool zero".
You have to write the macro in notepad or word then copy it.
After that you have to open Mach3Screen and double clic on the "auto tool zero" button then paste the macro you have in there.
Hope this will help you a little bit.
Good luck.

To clear this what i am doing:
I have an isolated plate that is 2.000 mm thick that i put on the surface of my workingpiece and it is connected to pin 13 at port 2.
Its a very simple macro but it helps me to set the tool more accurate then a piece of paper

GetVar(2002)’Hit the probe
Call SetDRO(2,2.000)’Sets the probehigh
Code”G00 Z10.000"’Safehigh

General Mach Discussion / Macro for Z-axis probe

« on: September 13, 2006, 09:50:55 AM »

I want a simple macro that lower the z-axis down until i hits the probe and then the thickness (that i know) of the probe get into the z-axis DRO.
Do i have to put the thickness of the probe in the macro or can the macro ask me if i want to set another thickness of the probe and save it even if i switch the computer off ?
Best regards from
