Re: Probing boss with Swissi question/error

Swissi's probing cycle made the first touch and errored out.probe error.JPG I moved the table to ensure I was able to reach all positions and increased the Z clearance amount. I'm going to try measuring a smaller boss in a different loca...

Re: ProbeApp Official Release: Public Trial ***EXPIRED***

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afufzv2PWyg Oh I've watched that video many times and I get it. I'm just wondering is there anything maybe slightly different when measuring a touch probe to add it to the tool library as maybe T99 and using it as a reference tool for setting up my WCS so that any ot...

Re: Probing rutine

What about to change this Z- axis macro ? The CNC12 built in Z probing cycle does stop on top in tripped state so you can reset WCS if you want to.

When I try to boot up my control, I am getting the message in the first picture. This has never happened before. If I hit, exit set up, the screen gets all these lines so I turn it off and reboot, then I select the other one and the machine will boot up. My software is at least 12 years old. I’m ho...
