Apparatus for determining axes for the computer assisted setup of a machine tool table

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium with instructions executed by a processor to:

• receive a first host border measurement signal for a host;
• receive a second host border measurement signal for the host;
• receive first x-axis axial measurement signals from border measurements of an extension bar extending from the host in a first x-axis orientation;
• receive second x-axis axial measurement signals from border measurements of the extension bar extending from the host in a second x-axis orientation 180 degrees rotated from the first x-axis orientation;
• receive first y-axis axial measurement signals from border measurements of the extension bar extending from the host in a first y-axis orientation;
• receive second y-axis axial measurement signals from border measurements of the extension bar extending from the host in a second y-axis orientation 180 degrees rotated from the first y-axis orientation;
• receive first z-axis axial measurement signals from border measurements of the extension bar extending from the host in a first z-axis orientation;
• receive second z-axis axial measurement signals from border measurements of the extension bar extending from the host in a second z-axis orientation 180 degrees rotated from the first z-axis orientation;
• compute an x-axis axial position based upon the first host border measurement signal, the second host border measurement signal, the first x-axis axial measurement signals and the second x-axis axial measurement signals;
• compute a y-axis axial position based upon the first host border measurement signal, the second host border measurement signal, the first y-axis axial measurement signals and the second y-axis axial measurement signals;
• compute a z-axis axial position based upon the first host border measurement signal, the second host border measurement signal, the first z-axis axial measurement signals and the second z-axis axial measurement signals;
• coordinate the operation of a computer numerical control milling machine based upon the x-axis axial position, the y-axis axial position and the z-axis axial position.
