Ok so I will try to explain this the best I can.
I work the full 10"x18" of my PCNC1100 everyday, mostly titanium and CPM "super" steels. I buy all of this in 10x18" sheets over sized 3/16th for the steel, and 3/16ths for the titanium.
The problem I have, which isnt a huge problem, but I know it can be better, is that the material varies in thickness a bit. and I get height and depth differences of up to .002-.009 sometime. Which sucks but its not a world ender, just makes my job harder later.
Im too cheap to send everything out for double disk grinding right now, and its too big to fit on my surface grinder. So I would like to know how to make SprutCAM use the passive probe I have, and check several different sections of the plates to set the height and use that as a height offset for each tool.
Problem I see with this is, I import one part into Sprut and then use the transform function to make 14 more parts. so 15 total. so Im not sure if you can make an individual sub route for each transform function?
Any help or insight into this would be of great help.
Thanks! God bless
