CNC Probe Programming

Many CNC machining centers are equipped with CNC probing packages that remain underutilized due to a lack of expertise or training.  By harnessing these built-in capabilities, manufacturers can significantly enhance efficiency, accuracy, and return on investment. 

In these modern times, probing is an established best practice for increasing manufacturing efficiencies, quality, capability, and accuracy on the machine. 

If you have this feature for your machines and you are not using it, contact us. We can train one of your staff members to understand how to program and use it, or we can create automated custom  probing programs for you.

 Modern probing is a best practice that offers numerous benefits: 

• Automated Work Coordinate Setup: Precisely locate parts to ensure accurate machining. 
• Dynamic Work Offset Adjustments: Automatically compensate for variations in casting stock conditions. 
• Part Loading Verification: Detect misloaded parts before and after machining to prevent errors. 
• Tool Wear Compensation: Enable the machine to self-adjust for tool wear, maintaining consistent quality. 
• In-Machine Feature Measurement: Measure features directly within the machine and export data to your network. 

 For machines equipped with in-machine tool pre-setters, additional functionalities include: 

• Reground Tool Diameter Checks: Automatically measure and compensate for changes in tool diameter. 
• Automated Tool Change Measurements: Streamline the process of measuring tools after changes. 

 Items included with our CNC macro programming packages include:

• Custom downloadable macro programs to be uploaded to you CNC machining center.
• Detailed description of the macro program, usually in MS PowerPoint or MS Word document form.
• 30 day email, Zoom, or phone support.
• A macro map in Excel format.
