Measuring toolheight after homing

Thanks Arie,
I've read the manual on that point.
I do want to measure the toolheight after every toolchange, even in the middle off the G-code when a new tool is requested.
But not immediality after the first homing, because most off the time there isn't any tool in the collet at that moment, or just the last tool from the previous run the day before.
Before every new job I set the Z-height for the first tool using the probe function.
My workflow:
Switch on the machine.
Homing (most off the time the gantry is parked way back on the far rear end).
Manually load the first tool with MDI function and let Masso setting the tool height automatically
Loading the G-code.
Fix the material on the machine bed.
Determinate X en Y position in the work coordinates.
Probing the Z height.
Start production run.
Regards,
Piet

Piet,
MASSO remembers the last tool in operation, even after shutdown. So when you home the machine MASSO re-establishes the zero reference of the tool that it thinks is loaded, this all part of setting a reference point for the auto tool zero routine. So basically leave to the last tool used in the machine at shutdown and only change tools via a tool change command so that MASSO can maintain the tool zero reference point. Any tool change without a tool change command will throw Z zero reference out the window.

Arie.
