Hey, guys. First of all, I hope I'm not breaking forum rules by posting this here. I decided to finish some scripts for probing. These scripts will find use mainly on larger machines with ATC spindles, or machines equipped with automatic tool change.
The first one is M101 - tool measurement.
This macro can only be run from the MDI or from a program, e.g. after a tool change, with this command.
The script works fully automatically with tools with a smaller diameter than the probe seating area. For larger tools, operator intervention is required.
It is also necessary that the tool diameter in the tool table agrees with the reality.
When the cycle is finished, the system is reset to the state before it was started (spindle on, cooling, offsets...).
The second is M107 - tool break check.
It can be triggered between operations or during a rapid feed pass. It is triggered by the M107 P0.1 command (where "P" is the maximum tolerance, in this case 0.1mm).
The script works only with tools with a smaller diameter than the probe seating area.
When the cycle is finished, the system is reset to the state before it was started (spindle on, cooling, offsets...). https://www.ebay.com/itm/15498369659...75.c101224.m-1
