Hi guys,
We've just picked up a 2nd hand VF2. For whatever reason I am having a struggle getting my head around the tool and work z offset.
The machine has a laser tool setter which sets the tool offset as the length from the taper gauge line. This gives a positive tool length in the tool table.
I want to be able to set my Z offset with the haimer 3d probe. But I cannot for the life of me get my head around doing this.
I can't set the haimer up using the laser too setter as I can't disable the spindle during the probe cycle.
Could someone walk me through the process of setting up the haimer and then setting a job up on the machine?
Cheers,
Pete
