Oh, haha, I thought that setting meant that a jog panel must be fitted or an error would occur! It would be nice if you could disable cycle start on those aux key macros as I have others that it annoys me having to push cycle start. I cant find it documented in the manual anywhere, what else does th...

Thanks for the idea. The macros are aux key functions that are built in. I dont know anything about them either as Centroid provide their typically limited documentation and dont allow you to contact support to ask! I run macros just as you suggested for some of my other buttons like manual tool cha...

Thanks. I did have a height offset applied when I tried to set zero height with the aux keys. In the part setup screen it automatically shows the currently selected tool. But with aux key it seems to ignore height offset. If you had a height offset applied, then there's an issue from which referenc...

If size is a problem, compare Haimer to TopCom: https://up.picr.de/42688027zf.jpg Uwe Thanks for the example. Actually, in my case, its too short that is the problem. As the spindle cannot get near the table, I would need a tall height setting gauge for it to work with short tools. I think I am goi...

I have four aux keys set up for the functions highlighted below. They work perfectly, well I thought they did. I have been using them, but today noticed that setting Z 0 does not consider tool length offset. I had previously had the tool length set to zero as it was the only one I was using but now ...

Report attached...

Note that the wireless MPG is working 100% fine. Just a warning that comes up at startup. The warning is not causing any harm, I just thought no warnings at all would be nicer.

Thanks guys for the suggestions. As much as I would like a tool height setter, there just really isn't room in my little machine for one. It would need to be up quite high too as the spindle nose can only get to 175mm above the table. Once the vice is in there, there is almost no table left and not ...

Fastest way is using a Tool touch off probe and a 3D probe connected to the control. If you get a wireless 3D probe you can store it in the tool changer... Regards Uwe I probably mixed my terminology a bit. When I said probe I meant my Haimer 3D Taster. 3D dial gauge. A probe would be nice but I am...

I understand tool length compensation and work coordinate system offsets. But, while I was playing around tonight, I was thinking what is the most optimal way to use a Haimer 3D probe for setting up work offsets and tool lengths. I have read the really useful information here . I am thinking the bes...
