Probing Metal Block and Tool Metal BlocK?

[mtrobregado]

Hi,

I have been reading the documentations and watching MASSO videos. I just want to clarify if I really need two metal blocks, a Probing Metal Block and Tool Setter Metal Block. From this documentation these are separate inputs "Probe Input Signal" and "Tool Setter Input".

The "Probe Input Signal", I need for probing and also running a GCode file. The "Tool Setter Input", I need for changing tools. Is this correct or not?

Regards,

Markel Robregado

Hi mtrobregado

While the inputs are separate they can be combined to use the same touch off plate if you want.
The touch off can be as simple as a block of metal like I use of a spring loaded plate or switch depending on how much you want to spend.

The video below shows how to set up and connect the tool setter as well as how to make it do probing as well.
Hope this helps
Cheers Peter
