Mazak H-630 Probe measure program?

[tpehlke]

I'm currently running a Mazak h-630 and it has a probe. Is it possible to use it like the newer machines by writing a small macro program or something to measure 3 points of the bore and tell me what size it is? The bore is about 14" Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Tim

Do you have EIA software like Inpspection Plus or anything on the machine? or you trying to (or have to) use Mazatrol? ... and which control is on your machine?

Mazatrol M32 is the controller I have no software on the machine besides mazatrol.

If I remember right, I don't think you can measure a 3 point bore on M32 (haven't had one of those around in many years).

But you can rotate a 4 point bore cycle by changing the theta. Can you do it that way?

you can also "cheat" this a bit by using the pocket or web cycle simply by changing the probing location in the bore if you have features of doing this normally. What you're doing here is measuring each axis off center of the bore to clear whatever you're trying to clear. Kind of like 'edge finding' a bore...
