Since the router doesn't have a repeatable tool holder this has worked out really well each time I replace the tool bit. I then disconnect the clip lead and remove the plate.
The macro I modified for MACH3 brings the tool bit down and on contact moves back up and logs the Z zero position.

Since I can measure the thickness of the PC board with a micrometer I know that if it's sitting on the top of the work or vise jaws or CNC router bed that when the tool bit contacts it and connects that input to ground that I'm a known distance from whatever the plate is sitting on. I clip a ground lead to the tool bit held in the router collet. > Thinking about it there is no need to probe height of part so no need for z direction, just have to place tool presetter on knownįor my CNC router I use a small piece of single sided fibreglass PC board with a wire for a clip lead.

The latest RadBeacon Locator Tents (as seen at McDonalds) are juiced up for up to five years. Give it a large coin cell and it can run for years. Put it back in its storage rack and in a couple of minutes it shuts down. How about a cheap solid state sensor that detects orientation or just any movement? Store it business end up and when flipped upright it turns on fully. Since the TT holders are pressed against the spindle for repeatability some sort of switch in the holder could also turn it on.įor other types of holders that use the draw bar to pull in the holder, the center pull tab could potentially be the connection that closes the circuit. So that's another issue that needs to be addressed. Or noise that delays the contact signal long enough to break the probe.Īll that is required then is a battery and we really don't want it powered all the time. The holder could have a small Blue Tooth Low Power module that signals contact. It should be possible to make some sort of holder which fits around a TT mill holder shank. > Expect they are more or less equally good as 3D taster but much cheaper. > Was also thinking about a cable, however need to connect it each time otherwise tool changer will slowly turn it into a twisted cable. > I'll wire up a cable that can be sensed by LinuxCNC to detect the edge automatically. > I use it with the Shumatech DRO to find edges or the center of something round. > Fowler 54-575-600 Electronic Edge Finder with Cylindrical Tip, 0.200" Stylus, 1/2" Shank At least until I figure out what might be better. > probably good enough for now so I will probably try them. > I also found cheap edge detector and touch plate or similar for tool length on Amazon, have seen 5µm as claimed accuracy and it's > I have just spent nearly £8 on one from Amazon as an experiment. > and sensor could be made of conductive material most obvious would be simple spring loaded contact meausurement for both. > As tool usually is a rather good conductor Probably some sort of spring loaded contact that is a precise distance from where it's set. I have a bunch of TT type tooling so eventually I'll need something for detecting where the tool is. It won't help me set up the tool height for a tool table. Eventually I'll wire up a cable that can be sensed by LinuxCNC to detect the edge automatically. I use it with the Shumatech DRO to find edges or the center of something round.
