Touch Plate Utility - Avid CNC EX Controller

As part of the new EX Control system, Avid CNC has updated the touch plate utility. This new version boasts even more touch plate cycles, angle probing, laser crosshair support, and full stylus touch probe support. Join Eric as he walks you through these new features and demonstrates how to use them.

So many built in features for probing!

Wait, you are ditching Mach4? YES!!!! Thank you thank you thank you! I've never before used software which regularly corrupts itself and requires a reinstall.

Dont think they are ditching Mach. They are in bed with Mach4

[@AvidCNC]

All controllers sold after the beginning of August have the Centroid Acorn control PCB and run CNC12 software.

This is so awesome!!

[@gregobj]

I am far too excited about this switch to centroid!

[@lilpeanut1424]

Eric, what laser crosshair is installed on your demo machine?

[@kurtmartin8162]

Is this Mach 4 or is this only for the new hardware?

[@rufustoad1]

Hoping you get a reply but after looking it appears you can only get this if you spend another $3K and purchase the new EX control system.

[@kurtmartin8162]

@@rufustoad1 I did get a reply It is a new item and full system that they have. I currently have the older system and was hoping this would mesh in but alas....

[@rufustoad1]

@@kurtmartin8162 Thank you. Can I assume the only way to get this is to purchase the new EX control system even if you have an older system?

[@kurtmartin8162]

Yes that’s what I have found out.

[@rufustoad1]

So is this screen set available if you already have Mach4 and where do you get this touch probe software as it is not on the Avid website?

[@AvidCNC]

Unfortunately, this is not available for Mach4, it is part of the CNC12 software with the new EX Controller.
