Hello All
Im currently in the process of buying my first "real" cnc. Im comming from a cnc bed mill. Although it was a nice 3 axis machine Im moving up to probing, coolant, enclosure, 4 axis. etc...
Im looking at a 2020 Hurco vm20i that is practicly brand new. Only 100 hours!
It has a wireless tool setter and probe set up. When I was looking at the machine run a simple program I noticed there was an error on the controller that said" tool probe fault, unable to receive optical signal"
The probe system is made by Hexagon and its a M&H production series.
Does anyone use this probe brand and set up? I want the machine but am worried that the probing setup wont work..
I was quoted almost 9k from my local Hurco dealer for a renishaw set-up.
Thanks in advance
