There is a 2 second delay to replace the touch plate ontothe table top. The latest version is in the 2 pass with Touch test directory and is the recomended version.Īfter entering the material offset value the plate needs to be touched to the cutter to begin the probing routine. There are 4 scripts available in the Archive section under single and 2 pass scripts You find an issue with a script or Macro please advise me ASAP so that aįix can be found and implemented. There may have been changes to the script forīug fixes or feature improvement so please check. If might be off.ĭate included in the script will allow you to check if you have the If you find that you have a problem with both setting the touch off plate thickness and the offset value test seems to be way off then take a look at the Z axis calibration. A simple check of the materials actual thickness will probably answer the question as it might be far thicker or thinner than you thought. If the discrepancy is larger than you expect then you will need to investigate further what the cause is. The cutter is set to be the value you entered above the spoilboard when you tell the Z axis to go to 0 and your material is probably under or oversized. When you test the script / Macro by entering an offset value of your material thickness no not be alarned or surprised if the cutter sits above or buries itself in the material. If the cutter buries itself in the material then the value is too large and needs to be reduced. If there is a gap between the cutter and the material surface then the value you entered into the Script / Macro is too small. If you are sure it is the callipers that are at fault here is a simple way of finding the correct value. Your Z axis might not be properly calibrated or the digital callipers might be slightly off. If you find the cutter is sitting above or digging into the material in the thickness test then there are a couple of possibilities. I started by measuring mine with digital callipers and entering this figure into the script / macro. The most critical part of using these scripts and macros is entering the correct plate thickness.
