Probing - I Want More

[savantpcs]

I have been seriously thinking about fixture plates for doing mixed part machining. Long story short is this:

Has anyone come up with a solution or does the RichAuto control board even support using a probe that can probe the x and y axis' of the part or even probe the inside of a milled circle? Basically something like this:
CNC Edge Finder

And if the RichAuto DSP controller doesn't support it is there another option or does that leave the realm of Axiom and require 3rd party modification?

There are numerous probing options with the Centroid Acorn controller. There are also a large number of 3rd party probing enhancements with Swissi's probing app (plug in)

Does that require changing out the controller on my AR6 or? Could you perhaps expand on what you mean?

[Gary Campbell]

Yes it would require swapping out your controller to one that uses a PC. I no longer do stepper versions, only servos, but there may be someone that does steppers. There are also a number of AXIOM guys that have done the swap themselves and have documented it on the Centroid Acorn Support Forum.
