Hi All,

I have a CNC machine with Fanuc 0i-MD control. I would like to add a touch probe to it. I have added a video showing that I am trying to do.

I also have the ladder program. Please let me know if anyone could help.

Thanks,

Where did you get the idea that you need to change or alter the ladder to install a touch probe? I've installed probes on two Fanucs and never did anything with the ladders other then what you're doing by verifying the skip signal is working.

If you MDI a G31 skip move and while the machine is moving, touch those two wires together and the machine stops, that's all you need for probing. A working skip signal. The rest is either home grown Probing Macros or those from Renishaw or others.

Well... that and a machine interface and receiver that works with your probe. (You do not hook up your probe directly to that input, but to it through the probe Machine Interface.)

You might want to find a spare M code or two for turning on and off the probe, but even that doesn't necessarily mean altering or messing with the ladder.

I installed probes on a Fanuc OMC and 18MC

Look into the Installation Hardware and Installation Function manuals for you OiMD. You might be able to find a High Speed Skip Input.(That may be what you've already fond. )

I think the X inputs are generally the normal skip signal. That F one you found sort of rings a bell on my 18MC install, and that uses the High Speed Skip input.

It was a lot of research and work for me to install these probes, but eventually I got them both going. Tool touch probe too.

There's a lot of info to be found in the Renishaw Install Manuals and Software Manuals.

you need to learn how a probe si working and what are macros are doing
it seems that you want to do something without reading the manual
this is not a push button on like TV
need to study and understand what is high speed skip that use 5v signal
good luck
