I have written an ISO program for a HBM using a iTNC530 control, (except for the part probing routines.) I will have a Renishaw RMP60
part probe to use. How do I use the Heidenhain probe routines in an
ISO program?
In our other machines using Fanuc controls we just inserted a few
lines of code in the program to activate and run the probe. I have explored the Active Editor Pro software from Renishaw, and it appears cumbersome, and impossible to verify the output.
I am looking for any tips, samples of what other programmers are using for ISO programs in the iTNC530.

Thanks in advance
 
You should be able to insert the Heidenhain probe cycle into the program. Just insert your cycle def...then a cycle call...you can do right at the machine. Shouldn't be a problem....
