I would like to request a change to the operation of the autozero probe. As it currently operates, when the zeroing operation is complete it sends the machine to 0,0,1. This is detrimental if you have chosen the wrong corner when running the autozero operation, it will smash the bit into the block, damaging both the block and the bit in the process.
Please change the operation so the bit is placed above the block when complete, to avoid collision if the wrong corner is chosen. Raise the bit on z axis above the block height, maybe z=35mm to avoid collision, then send to 0,0.
I was going to mention this as well. At the least, the screen that prompts you to probe should make it really obvious what corner you should be holding the block on too. Right now it doesn’t prompt for confirmation and the drawing it shows always implies the usual front left corner. When the probe is complete, I think it should rapid to the center of the touch plate instead. This happened to me as well…it jammed the touch plate against one of my clamps…if that were my hand it would not have been pretty, Since this incident, I tend to avoid probing a different corner unless it is absolutely necessary to have a two sided operation line up perfectly.
We’ll look into seeing if we can make the corner selection more obvious to address this feedback, since moving back to the corner is the higher preference for everyone using the AutoZero versus staying at the center - also if we updated to stay at the center you might still not realize you’ve probed using the wrong corner
Something as simple as a pop-up prompt to remove the plate before sending the bit to 0,0 would alleviate a lot of the collision errors from picking the wrong corner.
@reet I like your original suggestion. Have the z move up to clear the touch plate before moving to the corner sounds like a good and easy solution to implement.
