[Ma...] Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I'm currently programming a part where near the end of the program the part has to be released from a constrained state, to a freestate. However the last point in the program before where the operator is asked to release the constraints the probe remains inside the component in CNC, so the operator cannot manually move the part away. This last feature is in a loop, so I didn't want to put a simple program stop in because this too would be looped. I've tried to put a clearance data at the end of the strategy but still no luck! Is there a way to force the CMM to move the probe to a clearance plane? Any other non PCM method or advise would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Is...] Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Maybe this: positionCMM(getPositionCMM().x,getPositionCMM().y,-10) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Cl...] Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I just insert a variable via a para file in the desired axis of the clearance plane window, or am I misunderstanding the question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Er...] Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 To machine coordinates relative 0,0,0. To move in any coordinate system you wish, use positionRS() But isn't a condition based on your number of loops enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ma...] Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 Seems to work now cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
