About the problem of probing of Mac4 Hobby
Hello everyone.
There were two things that I found out by investigating so far.
No. 1
When moving in a straight line, I think that using G1 is the correct answer, but in the program, G31 is used. For this reason, the detection rod will stop when it reaches the specified distance.
Originally, I think that G31 is used in combination with an instruction that returns a measured value when it comes into contact within the specified distance. Therefore, since I continue to use G31, I thought that the detection rod would stop.
No. 2
It is a function called "2 Surface Centering".
We have to pay attention to this feature.
The detection rod will rise after coming into contact with the measurement surface.
Originally, it should retreat after contacting the measurement surface, and then rise.
Looking at the program, there was still a problem.
So I added a command to retract the detector bar.
This fixed the problem.
My conclusion
I don't think there are any problems with ESS.
I thought that it would work correctly if I corrected the defective part of the Mach4 DEMO program "mcProbing.lua".
