Automatically zero your Z-axis using a standard touch plate.
Designed specifically for modern widescreen monitors. Advanced Automated Probing (The Auto-Zero System) Mach3 2010 Screenset
When a g-code program calls for a tool change (M6), the operator swaps the physical tool bit. The machine then automatically transits to the fixed plate, probes the new tool, calculates the length difference, and adjusts the Z-zero dynamically. The operator never has to manually re-zero the material surface mid-job. 2. Intuitively Integrated MDI

Beyond tool changes, the 2010 Screenset boasts several powerful features. Its Probe page offers macros for centering on bosses and holes, probing inside/outside rectangles, and finding corners. Users also praise features like the large, side-by-side machine and work coordinate DROs, Park Position, and Safe Z buttons, all contributing to a more efficient workflow.
The default Mach3 interface (1024.set) splits vital information across multiple tabs. To zero an axis, set up a tool change, or change a feed rate, you often have to flip back and forth between the Program Run, MDI, and Offsets screens. This constant switching increases the risk of mistakes and slows down your workflow.
