This would be on a Haas sl-20 with tool presetter. Is it possible to automate the tool touch off?? Of course its automated on the mills with the renishaw system, why not on the lathe.....or is it and I just dont know it lol. Custom macro perhaps? Anyone try this before?
 
Goooose,

According to Haas' website, it is possible...although, I think it is a somewhat recent option for their lathes. I don't know exactly when they started putting automated tool setters (vs the ones you just pulled out manually ).






from the website...
Automatic Tool Presetter


Use the Automatic Tool Presetter system for setting tool offsets, as well as for in-process tool inspection and breakage detection.
