Basic Probe Help 8 - Example



Demo of inside corner probing using the top right button in Basic Probe (back_right_inside).

While all probe entries must be correct, the most important settings to change for each probe sequence:


* XY CLEARANCE -distance away from edge before rough probing

* Z CLEARANCE -distance from probe to top of material

* EXTRA DEPTH -distance to lower probe from top of material

* EDGE WIDTH -distance along edge wall (away from corner) to start probing.


[NOTE]

These distance are always to be set in 'machine units' (mm for metric machine, inch for imprial machine)


Preset:





Sequence after pressing the probe button:


  1. rapid EDGE WIDTH distance away from corner at the same time moving XY CLEARANCE away from edge. So this is a slightly diagonal move.(red arrow #1)

  2. move probe down by Z CLEARANCE + EXTRA DEPTH

  3. probe wall twice (rough and fine) (black arrow #2)

  4. move diagonally to the other wall as set by EDGE WIDTH and XY CLEARANCE (red arrow #3)

  5. probe wall twice (rough and fine) (red arrow #4)

  6. raise probe up by Z CLEARANCE + EXTRA DEPTH (returns to starting height)

  7. rapid back to starting corner, now calculated using the probed walls

  8. if auto zero button is enabled, set X and Y of the current user system to zero.
