self-made tool auto-checking Description (probe.nc)

enjoy_cnc

Dear all，

The following accessories for self-made tool auto-checking  operation instructions and macro interpretation。

Will_D

Many thanks for the pdf. It is very useful.

However there are two labels N1:

GOTO 2
N1#1=0
#2 = 0

and

N1M101  ---- Perform exploration

Will this cause a problem?


Also in your other mail to me you say
"3 times the tooling method may be for some knife block defects,
  the latest firmware has been canceled 3 times on the knife,
  into a single knife on the way!"
  
but the latest firmware issue [2018-01-21-91] the probe.nc is the 3 times version!

The only version like the one in the pdf is from the issue 2017-03-04_87

Again thanks for the help

Will Davis

Sorry, Will_D
Thank you for your reminder;
The probe.nc file in the [2018-01-21-91] version of the forum is not up-to-date;
I will re-upload this version;

And I will synchronously update [DDCSV self-made tool auto-checking.pdf] description error;




Kind regards

Will_D

Many thanks. Can you please use zip format please as you now have to by a rar license!!

Also question:

Why the 2 directories named 3 and 4/ Are there differences?

I can see some date differences in the files

Dear Will_D,

Zip archive has been updated in the above location;

3 and 4 are 3-axis system and 4-axis system installation package folder,
The two main differences are: chs and eng profiles are different；

Kind regards

probe.nc is now working thank you.

I am trying to convert the code into a macro that I can call from within a tool change macro. Or can I call probe.nc that's within the system directory from a GCode file?
So the end of the probe.nc code is this:

G04 P0ause 0s
#402=#400;Save the Z axis zero offset of the coordinate system
#403=1;Set automatic correction coordinate system logo
#404=-#870;Save the tool thickness, if the previous tool thickness parameter is 0, the system will use this variable to modify the tool thickness parameter to complete the first knife
G91 G01 Z#575 F#578;  The knife is completed, Z axis back

So I now want to move to another position so I try:

G04 P0ause 0s
#402=#400;Save the Z axis zero offset of the coordinate system
#403=1;Set automatic correction coordinate system logo
#404=-#870;Save the tool thickness, if the previous tool thickness parameter is 0, the system will use this variable to modify the tool thickness parameter to complete the first knife
G91 G01 Z#575 F#578;  The knife is completed, Z axis back
G91 G01 X10.0; Move to X+10

Trouble is the move in X does not happen!

I am at a loss as to what I am doing wrong I have tried all sorts to make X move!!

Dear Will_D

The probe.nc file can only be called by a keystroke, it cannot be called by G code like a subroutine;

"
G91 G01 Z#575 F#578; The knife is completed, Z axis back
G91 G01 X10.0; Move to X + 10 "

Please upload your own modified probe.nc file, I test it!

I am trying to write a tool change macro that will eventually be T.nc is the system folder.

I have copied the probe.nc code into a macro [O456] in Tmac3.nc .
The probe works but the macro is not returning cack to the caller so the code after the call is not executed.

I have attatched the file. Note it is just a txt or nc file but the uploader does not allow such extensions.


Can you please allow .nc and .txt extensions please

Thanks

Will

WHile checking out some code I notice that the command:

T6 M6 does a probe! Where is this functionslity defined.

My T.nc does not do much:


G01 X2 F10
    Y2
    Z2
%

Dear Will_D,

   Recently something happened, I didn't have time to reply you, sorry!
  
  (probe.nc), (T.nc), the custom m instruction (M200.nc-M9999.nc) belongs to a special function macro file, which is not the same as the normal subprogram restriction condition.

  Therefore, the code in the probe.nc file cannot be executed in a subroutine.
