LEGACY CNC TOUCH PLATE HOW TO
A video tutorial is being put together to walk you through how to use it. This will allow you to find the exact corner of your work piece and set the Z axis quickly. The CNC touch plate has its diameter as 1.38 inches, the cable length is 43.3 inches, and thickness is 0.79 inches. It also comprises an auto-check setting probe, which makes checking tool height an easy task. Test the battery by touching plate to tool, make the approach to within a few tens-of-thou by eye, then step it down in steps of 0.001' until my LED comes on showing contact. The corner of the touch plate is relieved so you can place the MillRight logo upside down and place the ledge of the touch plate against your work piece’s corner. The Z-axis tool setting the touch plate of this CNC works using Mach3. My plate is a two-sided copper printed circuit board, wired up to a 9V battery in series with a resistor and LED. When paired with the CNC Shark touch plate included in this bundle Virtual Zero 'maps.
LEGACY CNC TOUCH PLATE SOFTWARE
Use the G38.2 command with axis, distance, and feed rate (IE: G38.2 Z-50 F80) to initiate a probing cycle. Exclusive PATENTED Original NWA Virtual Zero software designed to be used on all legacy NON PENDANT machines. Simply connect the alligator clip to your end mill and place the zeroing plate on your work piece. It works by completing an electrical circuit between the touch plate and your cutter.
