Guide/Support: Installing a Z-Axis Touch-off Sensor on AltMill

“Hi everyone, I’m looking to add a Z-axis touch-off sensor to my AltMill. I’ve noticed other machines often come with this pre-configured, and I’m feeling a bit behind the curve without it. I want to ensure I’m getting the most value out of my AltMill by adding this functionality. Could anyone provide a clear, step-by-step walkthrough on the wiring and the software setup (gSender) required to get a probe working? Thanks in advance!”

Here is a link I found that might help you. I have not tried it.

@AndyV The ATC comes with a TLS and you will find instructions in the ATC documentation. There’s a wiring section and a software section.

I don’t know if you have your TLS already but I think Sienci’s latest blog mentioned they would start selling them as a separate item soon.

That’s the plan and we’ll also have more resources to go along with it - that said the ATC documentation is a good place to start since it’d be the same TLS/workflow for most users.
