In Process Probing - Are you getting the most out of your probes?

[@SENTHILRAJA000]

This video was very helpful for me

[@SENTHILRAJA000]

Tomorrow I'm going to apply this method in my machine..

[@MrCNC]

Nice!

[@Eggsr2bcrushed]

Certainly much more straight forward than the Fanuc way.

[@larsfaller]

Thanks for the feedback and yes, completely agree 👍

[@MrCNC]

Agree with Lars

[@MrRctintin]

Re the camera with coolant chips, use an Air Knife to blow the drips away.

[@MrCNC]

Tried that in the past with mixed results - might be time to test it again. Thanks!

I need sinumerik 840d probing program and explain in 5 axis or multi axis machines.

[@larsfaller]

Feel free to reach out to either one of us

[@MrCNC]

Yeah, feel free to reach out [e-mail]

Where can I find course on parametric progarmming you have mentioned in the viedeo?

[@MrCNC]

Here is the link to the website - keep checking, as we are updating the schedule regularly. new.siemens.com/us/en/markets/solutions-for-machine-builders/machine-tools/cnc4you/machine-tool-training.html

Weird question i guess.. But dealing with the whole getting a probe working i realize i dont have a Probe on M command.. - can you make your own M commands? In either one of the many GUD or SGUD files and such?? Ive been digging thru the PLC program but cannot really find a definition of the M codes in there either..

[@MrCNC]

to the GUD question to the best of my knowledge you cannot. and the builder is going to set them in the PLC

[@roughedge-machineworks]

@@MrCNC seem then using the UGUD file and define it as a custom cycle, using the CUST_MEACYC(3) is my best bet then.. Cuz i cannot find any M codes in the PLC dump tbh - or i just cannot read.. whatever code that is supposed to be. :D

Hello Chris, I will buy a CNC machine with 828 control and licensed with measuring cycle (BLUM Probe), please tell me if In Process Probing need additional license or not? thank you,

[@MrCNC]

thank you

[@MrRctintin]

Does this work on the 808D advanced controller?

[@MrCNC]

I have not done this on a 808D advanced yet, however the probing functionality is available with the 808D advanced and, at least, the function manual lists several of the same dedicated commands used in this video. I will update, if I get a chance to run these on a 808!

[@MrRctintin]

@@MrCNC that would be fantastic if you could. There’s quite a few guys buying Syil X7 mills with Siemens 808D controllers, so this would be very useful for us.
