Probe rotation during manual alignment

Hello,

Can i do a probe rotation during manual alignment? For example I first want to align a plane on 4 different points with a fixed position of the probe.
After that i want to rotate the probe into another position and do an alignment on a cilinder. I Just dont want to crash the probe after the plane has been aligned. Can i do some kind of move point after i finished the alignment of the plane? And rotate the probe after that? I know its possible in DCC mode but i need to know if its possible in manual mode.

Thanks

  • Yes. I would program in a REPORT COMMAND COMMENT that tells the user to clear the probe. Then put your Probe Change Angle command in there. Once you press Yes on the Comment, the Probe angle will prompt you and the angle will change.


    Thank you. So once the message (for example) "move probe higher into safe position" pops up i can move the probe to a safe position and press yes after that? If i press yes before i move the probe in safe position i am screwed, right?
