Large Probe Clearance

[[Jo...]]

Hey All,

I have a large hemispherical probe on my Prismo (Vast) that I would like to integrate into the probe rack. The probe diameter is 30mm and it will not clear the probe rack unless it goes under it 5mm or so then back up. See the attached diagram of the desired path. 

Now I am pretty savvy with approach parameters, but I have not had the pleasure of using the "define path" options. I imagine this would be method to do so.

Can someone provide some insight into the best approach? I get limited time on the machine, and I do not want to cause downtime from a crash.

 

TIA!

This would be safe using extension in Z axis to avoid those jumps - i think whole sequence is "hardcoded" - aka non editable.

I did think of this as a viable option. I was really hoping this was possible though before I ordered anything.

When I was in training I was told about a situation that was exactly this and it was apparently able to be dealt with via the approach parameters and such.

I don't know how to do it, but I've heard it's possible if that helps.
