Script for Auto Z Touch Plate

[ticolali]

Hello,

I have a plug & play nema 23 CRP500 system that I bought in 2014.

I had to replace my computer from Windows XP to Windows 7.

Everything is well configured, but I no longer have the script for the Auto Z touch plate for Mach3.

Does anyone have that script?

Thank you!

That script is most likely "out there" somewhere. I'll post what I used for Mach3. It was a modified version of CNCRP's script I believe. I changed it such that it paused until the plate was touched to the tool to verify a good connection. You can modify it to fit your needs or just use it for reference or think 'thanks for nothing' and keep looking.

Dim Zprobe, Zretract, ZfeedRate

'Note: TouchPlateHeight represents the actual height of the

' Minor adjustments can be made for calibration purposes (use caution)
TouchPlateHeight = 0.063 '1 inch for CNC Router Parts Touch Plate

If IsSuchSignal (22) Then
isMetric = GetOEMLED(801)
Zprobe = -3
Zretract = 1.5
ZfeedRate = 1
If isMetric = 0 Then
Zprobe = Zprobe * 25.4
Zretract = Zretract * 25.4
ZfeedRate = ZfeedRate *25.4
TouchPlateHeight = TouchPlateHeight * 25.4
End If
Call SetDRO( 2, 0.00 )
code "G31 Z" & Zprobe & " F" & ZfeedRate
While IsMoving()

Call SetDRO( 2, TouchPlateHeight )
code "G1 Z" & Zretract & "F40"
End If

I use Mach3 Tool Setter by Big-Tex, includes scripts and buttons for tool touchoff.
