What software are you using to program your probe? I'm tired of typing CALL O9810 PX= PY= PZ= PF=
O9811 PZ= PE= PF=
etc etc etc.

We've got 1 RMP60 and are going to add another to our MA-500

Any critiques of software would be appreciated

Anyone know if it is possible to write a post for MasterCam that will output correct code? Even if you have to edit in address if it would just put out the basic code I'd be happy.

I spent 7 hrs typing in calls today I am going to start getting pricing and approach the company manager about it. We have a back log in quality anyway so I'm hoping to sell the idea.

Thanks

We are actually playing with PCdimis to do a in machine part inspection. Big money software though. It actually builds the post for the probe and sends it to the machine. It's like real time inspection, over my head. I just do the interface of the probes.

Our QA uses PCdimis for the CMM, wonder if it can be purchased as an add on. I'll check into that. Thanks

On a MX50 Okuma horizontal mill. I have a renashaw touch probe and was wondering how get values off personal page and change them into vc#. Touch off on z axis in two spots. With the z dimensions you minus them from each other divide by 2 divide by the length leg opposite X sine equals your rotation. Adjust rotation on b axis. I do a lot of castings that are not flat use the probe to adjust angle. formula would be A minus a=Aa divided 2= divided by leg opposite =sine of answer. I would probally write it like this vc1-vc2= answer /2 =answer / leg opposite =sine of answer. Then move values to offsets or vc#. It would be greatly appeciated for any suggestions you might have.
