Rack Mount Point

John Kugler 10 months ago

Is it possible to get the rack mount location into a program without changing probes?

Basically I want the probe to go to a move point, but I would like to send it to the mount point of the rack.

Something in a variable, maybe?

I've looked and cannot find it. I know it's in the settings somewhere cause it is a hard point with X, Y, Z Values.

Thanks.

Make a quick new program that creates an external alignment with a READPOIONT (X Y Z = 0) that is the MOUNT POINT on for your rack. Or wherever point near the rack you'd like to use.

Call and Save the external alignment named RACK_ALN.

In other programs:

When you need to move to the rack point you created, Recall External RACK_ALN alignment, follow it with a MOVE POINT to 0,0,0. Then recall your previous alignment.

RECALL/ALIGNMENT,EXTERNAL,RACK_ALN

MOVE/POINT,NORMAL,<0,0,0>

RECALL/ALIGNMENT,INTERNAL,ABC

That will work. Not as elegant as I would like (I'm weird that way), but it will do what I want.

Thanks.
