Selecting a Work Offset

The Probing screen includes six work offset buttons.

Work offset selection allows you to choose where the probing results will be stored.

The required work offset must be selected before starting a probing cycle.
Probing results are saved to the currently active work offset.
The active work offset is displayed at the top of the screen.
When exiting the Probing screen, MASSO remains set to the last selected work offset.

INFORMATION: If the incorrect probing cycle is selected by mistake, press Feed Hold or ESC on the keyboard. This will immediately stop the probing cycle and allow you to select the correct option.

INFORMATION: Detailed instructions for each probing cycle are available using the links provided below on the Probing screen.

CAUTION: It is advisable to quickly test your touch probe before starting a probing cycle to ensure it is working properly. This is done by triggering the Probe and observing the indication at the top of the screen. When triggered the indication will change green This is done by touching the probe tip in case of a 3D touch probe or by tapping the plate against the tool in case of a probing plate.
