Is there a touch probe system out there for older machines? I have '97 and '98 model year mills i would like to add a touch probe to for setting work offsets. Then theres the problem of macros for the older machines to handle a touch probe. Dont know about that either.
We currently run a lot of parts that we need to bore holes out on castings. There are two or three holes per part that must be indicated in manually to find center for work offsets before machining. It takes to much time and even the best operator can miss center by a tad after a long hard day. And scrapping one part due to operator error costs $1500 and up.
