Z Axis to raise bit after touch off question

What I am looking to try to do is when I Touch off-Z it will move the Z axis up to .80 automatically.
Is this possible?

Seems like a simple approach would be to add a button that calls a sub and the sub would contain a g10 then a g0 z.080
Similar to below but instead of a MDI command use a sub

Andy,

I am using the Touch off button that comes with EMC, I also have an MDI command which I linked with the 4th axis button on my Cnc4pc pendant.

the reason I would like this feature is so that when I touch off-Z, it of course zeros out the Z-axis so it knows where the material's depth is.

But I usually have to raise the bit to .80- 1.00 after the Touch off Z, this way when I start the design the bit wont touch the material when the router starts up.

this way the bit will have "zeroed the z-axis, then raise the bit, then I can start the design.

does this make sense?

thanks for your expertise
