Verify and Adjust Your Setup with On-Machine Probing
On-machine probing built directly into your programming workflow for setup verification and in-process measurement.
Why Use Probing?
On-machine probing allows CNC machines to verify part position, detect setup errors, and measure key features before and during production. By integrating probing routines directly into the program, shops can reduce setup time, catch issues earlier, and maintain more consistent results across production runs.
Reduce Setup Time
Quickly locate part datums and establish work offsets without manual indicating. Probing routines quickly verify part position so machining can begin with confidence.
Improve Process Automation
Probing enables automated setup verification and in-process inspection, allowing programs to adjust offsets or alert operators when measurements fall outside tolerance.
Catch Issues Before It Becomes Scrap
Probe critical features during machining to detect errors early. Catching problems before finishing operations saves machine time, tooling, and material.
Maintain Consistent Accuracy
By verifying part position and key features directly on the machine, probing helps improve repeatability across setups, operators, and production runs.
Program Measurement and Verification Directly in GibbsCAM
GibbsCAM Probing allows programmers to integrate measurement and inspection routines directly into CNC programs. These probing operations verify part positioning, establish offsets, and measure critical features throughout the machining process.
Supported Cycles
Use industry-standard probing cycles to measure features, establish offsets, and verify part positioning during production.
