I have recently installed the Big-Tex Probing screen v3.2 which seems to work absolutely fine.
However, after much testing now, I am getting a consistent error in that, once I take the touch plate away and 'GotoZero' I am always left with a clearance of 0.015" above the workpiece?
I have checked and re-checked everything I can think of which would affect the accuracy of the machine as follows.
1. Z axis movement 100% accurate when measured using a DTI (within 0.0005 over a 1" travel).
2. Plate thickness set at 0.07874" (2mm Brass Plate).
3. Z axis movement is smoothly operating with no binding.
4. All offsets set to zero prior to using the probe function.
5. Have tried various 'Debounce' settings between 0 - 2000 with no improvement or difference.
The Z axis has a 3" total movement (Marchant Dice manufactured) and has proved itself over time to be very reliable and accurate.
I really am stumped as to where this inaccuracy is coming from as most people seem to get very good results using this screenset - it's just that I can't seem to get the accuracy that I'm looking for.
Has anyone any idea why this is happening - or am I being too hopeful in looking for this degree of accuracy.
