CNC Probe Programming

Many CNC machining centers come with a CNC probing package. Yet, many places do not use them due to a lack of knowledge or skilled staff. You are missing out on a very valuable resource that your machine has, and greater ROI from your purchase.

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.

Some of the "Value Added" probing options include:

• Set work coordinates for part location.
• Automatically adjust work offsets for casting stock conditions.
• Check for mis-loaded parts prior to/and after machining.
• Let the machine self compensate for tool wear.
• Measure features in the machine and output the measurements to a file on your network. 

If your machine includes an in-machine tool pre-setter, some of the "Value Added" probing options include:

• Check reground tool diameters and automatically compensate tool diameter wear.
• Automate tool change measurements.

 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.
