Finding center of box

[Ger21]

Use the X an Y pocket routines in the 2010 Probing Wizard.

Isn't the 2010 screenset more aimed at probing?

It was intended to be a better interface for Mach3, with automatic Z zeroing during tool changes.
The probing portion was added later, and was never the intended goal. So I wouldn't say it's "aimed" at probing.

Thank you.

I don't suppose you have any examples on how to use it to find the center of a box. Similar to the one I have posted?

Find left edge, zero DRO, find right edge, set DRO to half the displayed value, zero is now centre line of part.
Repeat for front & back.
It's so quick and easy I don't see why automation is required?

Jog over the box, and down into it.
Check the box to zero the X and Y coordinates.
Press the X Pocket button.
When it stops, press the Y Pocket button.
Done

What kind of probe does that need for a plastic box?

Fair point. I think I'll have to maybe stand my edge finder up and quickly move it as it probes......

You'd need to use an actual probe, rather than the tool and a conductive plate.

But you could use the touch plate, and manually move it from side to side if you are quick enough.

Impressed with the screen set. I just used a old tool and stood my probe plate vetical against the side of the box and probed z and y. Worked a treat..
