Hi everyone - old thread, but hopefully I can get some guidance with a probe measuring issue as I have searched the internet but have not found anything useful relating to Haas part measuring with a probe.
I used to use a parametric measuring pgm on a Heidenhain iTNC533 controller running a DMG 5 axis years ago as I had to supply a part tolerance printout for our UK customer. I found it very easy to do this with a Heidenhain controller, but now I'm teaching on Haas controllers and not familiar with the more advanced functions (if any) - just wondered if it's possible to measure a part after milling with the probe by specifying a XYZ coordinate to goto and probe that position - then display it or save it in a pgm?
So basically what I want to do is write a positional pgm, the probe would then goto those XYZ coordinates and probe - then save it somewhere or display it like the Heidenhain can.
the Haas 3 axis cnc mill is equipped with a wireless renishaw probe system.
any ideas or sites I can go to for more information.
thanks
