I am looking to add a probe to my mini mill. I have a mini mill with a NGC. I need a lot more than 10 tools to make my parts so I have disabled the H and T match setting.
I am wondering how this works with measuring tools using the tool setter. If my program has pocket 1 using offset (tool) 14 is there a way to measure the tool in pocket 1 and have it update the parameters for tool 14?
On another program pocket 1 may be tool 5 and I want to be able to automatically measure the tool and adjust the correct offset for a given program.
Same with in process stuff, although it seems like I can handle this in fusion. Has anyone dealt with this scenario and can you offer any advice.
If at all possible I want to avoid matching the tool numbers and retouching everything every time I change a pallet. I have no experience with probing and I’m wondering how flexible it is before I pony up the cash.
Thanks.
