DeskCNC Documentation: The surface can be re-machined using the DeskCNC CAM, or the file may be imported into another Cad-cam system for further processing and combination with other design data. When not scanning surfaces, the probe can be used as a precision tool length measurement device with the included base and tool contact tip. DeskCNC is a Windows based CAM/CNC solution for creating toolpaths, copying existing models, and running CNC machines. DeskCNC can create toolpaths from DXF STL, Gerber, Excellon, and Image file formats as well as Digitize existing part geometr (requires optional Probe or Laser Scanner).

As of this date the DeskCNC, TP-100 touch trigger probe is released. This device is a mechanical contact probe capable of scanning a contoured surface at rates of 20,000 points or more per hour. It is integrated with the DeskCNC controller and software program. Routines, within the DeskCNC software, permit jog selection of scanning zones and then fully automated raster collection of surface data, resulting in the creation of a machinable,.STL file. Probe tip radius compensation and waterline probing are also included. The probe has a precision ruby tip for reduced wear and increased accuracy. The shank is 3/8 inch diameter, to accommodate the capacities of the small desktop mills such as the Sherline, Taig, and MaxNC.

With an expected useful life in excess of 10,000,000 data points, it is suitable for both commercial and hobby use. In addition to the probing capabilities, the package also includes a base and contact tip that converts the probe into a precision tool length setter. Fireproof 2008 torrent download.

In this mode tool lengths are automatically measured and recorded in the DeskCNC tool table. Price is $399 in single quantities, DeskCNC customers are eligible for a discounted price of $275.

I'm not sure if this is the proper place to have this discussion, but if not, I'm sure the moderators will let us know.;-) As stated in the announcement, the probe ' is integrated with the DeskCNC controller and software program'. The controller is a $25, remote processor, which is a combination 45000 hz step and direction controller and a break-out board. It connects to the serial port of most any dumpster grade Windows 98 (or later) PC.

Your options for using the probe are to use it with the DeskCNC 'software and controller' system and the built in utilities, or to use it with another control system, which may or may not have the degree of automation available with DeskCNC. If you use it with another system that results in an.STL file, then DeskCNC software can be used to create toolpaths to machine the file, even though it was not created with DeskCNC. Fred Smith - IMService.

The probe comes packaged with all devices needed for digitizing or tool setting. An instruction sheet is also included for converting between probe and tool setter along with maintenance instructions and Certificate of accuracy. DeskCNC will automatically compensate for the diameter of the probe tip and will create a true definition stl cad file for machining the reproduced part allowing you to rough and finish with different sized tools.
