Probe Calibration Renishaw MP12

Ok, i have a Inspection Plus convertion for linux CNC, but my Renishaw converted code is so hard to understand, becouse Linux cnc dont have a Simple GOTO , just a conditional GOTO..

But the use is identical to the Siemens Inspection plus routines

hi
thanks for sharing i did see your youtube videos
this saves me abit of work to rewrite the renishaw ones.

does this do the Z also? as i have a MP700 which is true 3D probe

for Z in the renishaw all i have todo is set a datum as a known true zero reff.
then set the probe as a rougth tool length and the cycle will calibrate the length, and then the probe travel

just need the same for the tool probe now

and yes this does make a huge differnce on probe errors. as you dont have to clock the probe up as much just make sure you put it in the same way around all the time.. or store it in the ATC

thanks for the sharing your hard work

Hi Rob,

I haven't done the z calibration yet, XY plane probing was more critical to me, since it matters when flipping a part over - but yes z height calibration is on the todo list.

You know how it is, there are always 10 jobs being done in parallel, the one most needed or most liked gets immediate attention, the others wait ...

I'm more than happy to share, the linuxcnc community is great, a big thank you from me to everybody here at linuxcnc forum !

btw will be sharing as well the TS27r cycles soon - need some time/priority to iron out some details - atm busy with classicladder for the impact wrench power drawbar and in-between distracted with setting up ethercat.

Cheers

I'm currently working on getting a Renishaw OM40-2 probe and OTS toolsetter with OMI-2T interface working with LinuxCNC on my Tormach mill. I'm facing the issue of converting Renishaw Inspection Plus macros to LinuxCNC - would you be able to share your conversion? I would save me a huge amount of time! I'd also appreciate your advice as to whether the Renishaw Fanuc or Siemens macros are easiest to convert to LCNC.

Many thanks,
Richard

Hi Richard,

Been forgetting to reply, sorry for that.

I have not converted the Renishaw routines to LCNC, rather I coded from scratch my own which I have shared here, both for the 3D probe and Toolsetter TS27R.

Wish I could help.

Best Regards,
Paulo

Hi Paulo,

Your post has already been very helpful in giving me an idea of what's involved - thanks again for sharing.

Best wishes,
Richard
