This manual covers the basic setup of the probe that can be used in a number of myCNC profiles and applications in order to determine an exact position of the part on a milling machine. The probe can find edges, corners, hole centers, and more. | This manual covers the basic setup of the probe that can be used in a number of myCNC profiles and applications in order to determine an exact position of the part on a milling machine.

- | In order to properly adjust the probe before starting the measurement procedure, it is necessary to eliminate any deviation that might be otherwise present in the probe. For this purpose, an indicator is used, as shown in the image below. This indicator should be sensitive to small forces of about 0.3-0.5 Newtons. | + | In order to properly adjust the probe before starting the measurement procedure, it is necessary to eliminate any deviation that might be otherwise present in the probe.
