Anyone ever figure out how to get the Probe App to work with the Tool Check function of Acorn? I want the probe app to set design height and measure the Tulane and then I start the job but if at any point, I need to do a tool check to make an adjustment or make any kind of a change when I’m done, a...

Re: Fixed Tool Touch Inconsistency

The spindle is a collet based non fixed. I started with the ProbeApp and and seemed to keep getting issues of z axis ...
