![]() ![]() That is progress, I guess.Ĭlick to expand.What I do is touch off with the probe and set Z zero. And there is no way, once you have the Renishaw, you will go back to the Haimer. And if the control is set up properly, more resistant to crashes, because it stops motion when it contacts.Ĭonclusion is there is no way once you have the Haimer, that you will go back to edge finders. Finding the center of a hole is 10 seconds "work". It is much, MUCH quicker still than the Haimer, more accurate (the Haimer Zero Master is 0.0005, the Renishaw easily 0.0001). Recently I have adapted a Renishaw MP11 probe to my Heidenhain control which has built in probe cycles. Make sure you order the English unit version with the 3/8 shank if that is the units you work in. Both of these things make it much more forgiving (though it can still be crashed.). Also gives feedback as you approach zero, unlike one of the electronic edge finders, and is tolerant of a fair amount of overtravel. Much, much faster than edge finders, electronic or not. ![]() I stick it in the tool length measuring fixture, run in down to 0.0000, then set all the tools relative to that length. I found it is nice to keep them close to the same length, makes probing more convenient. The Zero Master is the shortest, if you buy it with a 20 mm stylus is is approximately the same length at an average tool in a collet holder. ![]() I have used the Haimer for a year or so now, very easy to use and only about $300. ![]()
