Hi, I have a D2-600 with PK running. I started using UCCNC recently as well as the TLS.
During some projects, I do a profile cut which is slighty (0.2mm) deeper than the stock material thickness.
What I seel is that on one side (closer to 0,0) I cut through the stock material but on the other side ( away from 0,0) I barely get through or sometime even not.
One solution is to cut deeper eg 0.5 mm but another would be to level my table.
For the last one I was thinking of using the TLS sensor and measure the height-difference with reference to a point nearby 0,0 eg 10,10.
The result should be shown onto the screen say like this: 10,10 = 0, 10,100 = -0,05, 10,200= -0,10 ..... 100,10 = 0, 10, 100 = -0,05 and so on
I looked already into the macros that come with UCCNC but I can not figure out all details.
Has some altready done this or is there a macro-guide somewhere or can somebody help me to develop this?
Any feedback is highly apprecaited
Regards
Marc

Hi Marc,
Late answer, sorry I'm not a very regulat visitor lately.
Have you solved your problem? Did you measure up your table surface and what did you do with that information? I would like to know what you did.
Long time ago I has a similar kind of problem, I was trying to engrave glass and wanted to touch just the surface and not go too deep.
Checking the levelness of the table was not the first thing that came in my mind.
I was more thinking in the line of 'how can I keep the tip op my tool at a constant relative disstance from the surface top?'
The solution I came up with was taking several hight measurements while not moving the z-axis. (Dragging a height measurement clock over the surface).
I kept the z-height constant to get any variation introduced by z-movements out. Then I made steps of fixed length in the x-direction, made a note of the clock reading and continued to the next...
At the end of the line a step in the y-direction and then the next line. Simple, boring, andtime consuming, but with that information I could see what the surface was like and I used excell to get a picture of it.
It gave me results at least 10 times better than required. The results were quite supprising to me, I could detect 'waves' on the glass surface.
Then I applied the height measurements to correct the z-depth in my g-code file.
Since I had to do this once I never came to the point of scripting this or using a digital clock that can communicate over a USB connection.
Kind regards.
