Automatically re-try a failed focus attempt

Our Optiv classic likes to fail focus attempts even when the part is burr free and the plates a clean. Doesn't happen all the time but enough that its quite annoying. Is it possible to have the machine automatically retry a failed focus attempt.

  • as sealevel said, going to full focus might be your best bet. Not having any burrs shouldn't have anything to do with the focus. If you're taking anything other than surface points then you could turn the focus off altogether, technically.

    Otherwise, if your focus keeps failing then there is something wrong with the initial Z-value of your theo. (or, if your're setting the alignment with the probe, then there could be something wrong with the offset calibration.)

    If you're programming from CAD, keep in mind, setting Z-values from a CAD model using surface points is inherently unreliable and could cause these kinds of issues as well.

    Also, make sure your alignments are correct as far as your Z-levels and Z-origins.
