Frequently Asked Questions

CNC Probing is software that transforms CNC machines into precision coordinate measuring machines (CMM). It enables you to perform automatic measurement, workpiece positioning, tool compensation, and quality control on the machine. It saves time by automating manual setup processes and minimizes the error rate.

CNC Probing is fully compatible with the following control systems:

- FANUC (0i, 16i, 18i, 30i, 31i, 32i serisi)
- SIEMENS (828D, 840D sl)
- SYNTEC (21MA, 21TB, 60WT)
- MITSUBISHI (M70, M80, E80 serisi)
- MAZAK (Mazatrol Matrix, Smooth)
- HEIDENHAIN (TNC 640, TNC 620)
- HAAS (NGC control)
- OKUMA (OSP-P serisi)
- GSK (218M, 988T serisi)
- Other common control systems

Yes, your CNC machine must have a touch probe. Probes can be obtained from manufacturers such as Renishaw, Blum, Haimer, Marposs. If you have an existing probe, we can integrate it with CNC Probing software. If you need a new probe, we can recommend the suitable model for you.

Installation is very fast:
- Software installation on computer: 2 minutes
- Integration of CNC machine with installed probe to software: 1 minute
- Probe calibration: 1-2 minutes
- Test measurement: 3 minutes
TOTAL: 15-20 minutes
For first use:
- Operator introduction: 31minute
- Basic functions training: 1 hour (optional)
Installation with remote support is also possible.
You can also install it yourself with video guides.

CNC Probing's measurement accuracy depends on the probe and machine quality used:

Standard probing: ±0.005mm (±5 microns)
Precision probing: ±0.002mm (±2 microns)
Ultra-precision: ±0.001mm (±1 micron)

Actual accuracy is affected by factors such as machine rigidity, temperature conditions, and probe quality.

We support all common probe types:
Touch Probes:

3D probing (multi-directional)
Wired and wireless models
Optical and radio signal transmission
Battery-free inductive power systems

No, CNC Probing does not change your existing G-codes. The software works in addition to your standard G-codes:

Your existing programs continue to run as is
Probing cycles are called as separate subroutines
You can use it manually or automatically as you prefer
You can edit your programs with the G-code editor

✓ RECOMMENDED: Perform measurement with coolant off
✓ You get more accurate results
✓ Probe life extends
If necessary, you can also measure with coolant on:

Use coolant-through stylus
Reduce measurement speed
Perform probe calibration more frequently
