I wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction ? I have a 3 axis CNC mill operating with Mach 3 software. I have just obtained a Renishaw probe with interface.
I want to set up a master under the probe, which will be offset from the spindle and mill a copy by allowing the probe to come down the Z axis until the probe trigger point.
The Mach 3 digitizing Wizard will establish the matrix.
I realise that this is perhaps not the most elegant solution, but I am on a learning curve. Cloud points and meshed CAD models can follow !!
Do I just enable the "config probe"- in Mach 3 ?
Where does the probe trigger input ?
If it's in the Z axis drive, how does G31 retract on the Z axis.
Thanks in advance for any guidance
