There is also the option to have the Z auto raise/lower, which will allow jogging from location to location and running probing routines without having to constantly raise and lower the probe tip. Data may be saved to a CSV file (CMM like measurement recording) or to a DXF to build up CAD file of probed geometry. All of the routines provide dimensional measurement info (CMM like usage) and the option to zero the axis to probed features (setup). The XY Probing page provides several canned routines that probe sides, corners, edges, ID bores, slots, etc. In addition, you must be able to center your spindle to the gauge ring BEFORE running the option 2 calibration routine to get the correct offsets measured. This method is less ideal, as you must re-install the probe at the same angle everytime. If your probe tip has mechanical runout, use option 2 to create a calibration table that includes an X/Y offset for the tip to shank error. If your probe tip is mechanically centered to the shank (Prefered!), then run option 1 to create a table that compensates for tip deflections and backlash. You can select from two methods of calibration depending on your probe. The compensation can correct for probe trip deflections, backlash, etc and results in the ability to probe parts and perimeters very accurately. The probe routine builds a table of ‘compensated tip diameters’ for every 10 degree angle directions. When you create a calibration table, you probe the ID of an accurate and round ‘gauge ring’ that you provide the actual measured inner diameter. The Calibration and Setup page is where you set some of the basic parameters, and have the option of creating a probe tip calibration table. It serves one simple yet important purpose… Test your probe out and verify the big LED on the Mach3 screen lights up when you activate the tip before you do any probing! This verifies your probe hardware, wiring, and Mach3 port/pin setup! The introduction page is the default page that Probe-It opens to.

Please review the HELP page to download a copy of the manual in PDF format, and to see some of the basic requirements to run Probe-It. Probe-It! doesn’t include other probing features already existing or available, for example the 3D ‘bed of nails’ approach which is in a Wizard shipped with Mach3, is not found in Probe-It!. The goal of Probe-It is to provide a useful tool with functionality I couldn’t find anywhere else. NEW in V1.1.3: Single line surface profile trace in X/Z plane routine.NEW in V1.1.3: Auto rotated coordinates (G68) routine.Auto Z up/down as part of basic x-y probing routines.Ability to probe parts/features not square to the table (part rotation).Logic added to probing routines to detect a ‘hit’ or a ‘miss’.Ability to record data direct to a DXF or CSV file for later analysis or usage in a CAD program.Automatic 2.5D perimeter tracing (not a bed of nails approach in 3D space, which doesn’t provide an accurate ‘outline’ of 2D parts).Ability to probe in any sort of vector in the X-Y plane, with result corrected by calibration data.This method is more sensitive to you re-installing the probe in same orientation in spindle every time.

Option 2 builds a full correction table that then accounts for the ‘offset’ in the probe tip to the shank/spindle center line.

Mode 2: If your probe has runout, or is non-adjustable, you can manually locate the spindle to the center of the ring gauge (use DTI, co-ax indicator, etc) before calibrating with option 2.

Mode 1: If your probe is mechanically runout free (ball tip is concentric with shank/spindle), calibration option 1 auto-finds the center of the gauge ring and runs twice to calibrate deflection errors in the probe.Ability to ‘calibrate’ the probe tip (calibration accounts for errors in probe tip deflection, and backlash within reason) – Now with 2 optional modes!.Probe-It! also provides some features useful for measuring and reverse engineering, such as:

Setting origins on pieces to be machined easily (edge finder functionality).

Locating positions of corners, edges, and centers of bores.

Probe-It! provides some of the same general functionality as found in other existing probing macros and wizards such as:

I began writing Probe-It! to be able to provide functionality in Mach3 I didn’t see provided by any other options, even after much searching in forums and on the web… Thanks for your interest in Probe-It!, a wizard add-on for the popular Mach3 CNC control software.
