Hi all
I have a question about the auto zero button.
If I set my home zero to my base plate of my machine, then set my Z zero to the top of my workpiece, this will give an offset from home to zero (lets say 20mm work piece thickness)?
What I want to do is set an auto tool zero that works off my base plate, I want to build my touch plate into my baseplate, then when I hit the auto tool zero button it will return to the home position +40mm safety for tool length, then proceed to zero the tool but instead of setting the Z Zero it will set the Home Z and the offset for my Z Zero should remain so even if the tool length is different the Z Zero should now reflect. This will allow me to hit my zero the machine will move to home then zero, this saves me having to always place my touch plate to zero after every tool change.
If anyone understands what I am trying to do can you advise if this is possible and point me in the right direction to some code?
Thank you for the great knowledge bank
