Changing Rack

[[Da...]]

Hi all,

 

I have a two changing racks the top and the bottom and I had to install all the styluses again etc. How can I change the distance so the head column will not crash in the stylus on the picture ?? I have changed before and after approach distances, but this only applies when the stylus is inside the head so what is happening when the head leaves a stylus in the bottom left pocket after that it will go straight away to right position to pick another one and smash that stylus. I do not know where are the global setting so the empty column will not go to the left and to the right that close to the rack.

There is also a during change parameter you can set.

I tend to move those to the lower or bottom racks if possible to avoid this situation.

Additionally, you can set the Top Value to 9999 to force the CMM to go to the maximum Z height without endlimiting itself, I find this to be very useful for avoiding obstacles in the volume, be they probes, parts, fixtures, etc. Generally speaking, I set this for every pocket on every machine, as the added safety is worth the slight time loss typically.
