to write macro's nor do I know how to set the switch settings to

the program to do what I want. So here goes with what I want to
achive.

At the x0.0y0.0 on my table I want to be able to have the machine
lower the tool onto the switch, move up a given amount from that
point and then automatically set the z dro to 0.0. Can this be
accomplished and if so does it need to be a macro? By doing this

the

tip of each tool will be at the same point over the table and in so
doing will make my setup time much shorter. I only run 1 part runs

at

a time and may have as many as 5-6 tool changes. Since I don't have
atc this causes quite a bit of time at the machine setting the tool
offset.

Mike,
What type of switch are you using, how is it interfaced to the
control, and what kind of accuracy are you looking to achieve?

Hi Bill, and thanks for replying. I am actually using an omron micro
switch with my plunger system attached to it. Typically these
switches have given between .005" and .010" which is more than
adequate for my needs. I had hoped to wire it as the -Z reference but
I don't want the 0.0 to be at the switch but say 3" above that point.
I don't know where the actual point will be yet till I get the switch
wired and programed. Any help will be appreciated.

ps bar chord....hmm you play??

This sounds like about the same macro that I use for THC.
You will need a DRO to enter the switch travel distance, other that that
I could modify it to do what you want. You would want to have the switch use
one of the Limit switch inputs. The probe ( move down until the switch
makes ) move back up the switch travel distance and zero the Z-axis.
Contact me off list and I'll see what I can do.
