Parameter
Details
SENS_Z
[
Z coordinate of sensor response
] – [
Z coordinate of table level
].
If you e.g. reaching the table Z=-
122.070mm, and sensor gave an active signal at
Z=-110.656mm – the entered value should be 11.414.
Z_SAFE
It is parameter describing what height the Z-axis can slide down fast (G0). If we have doubts
how long tools will be measured it is safer to enter „0”.
SENS_X/SENS_Y
X and Y position of the sensor in the machine tool working area.
MAX_DTRAVEL
Maximum distance the axis slide down in the measurement mode. If in the measurement mode
the Z-axis run this distance, and the sensor signal does not appear – the measurement failed.
With this parameter, you can protect yourself from the situation when the measurement was
elicited while the tool was not clamped.
SPD_FAST
First measurement speed (mm/min).
SPD_FINE
Second precise measurement speed (mm/min).
Z_LIFT
Determines how to raise the Z-axis before the second measurement. The value should be large
enough to change the sensor inactive again while raising.
Z_PARK
Z-level, on which the axis was set before the measurement and after the measurement is
finished. Usually – “0”.
The macro should be saved in the „File/Save” menu, close the window. Best after this operation is to also
close and restart the Mach3 program to make sure that the settings have been saved.
That is all. Just click the „Auto Tool Zero” button, and the tool will be automatically measured. Exactly why
the table level was checked? It is because adding the data the way was showed above – after correct
measurement the zero of Z axis is set on the working table level. Now if we want to define the zero point of
the work piece, and its thickness is e.g. 10.150mm we can enter this value directly into the „Offsets”. In
short, the processing offset in the Z-axis is counted from the level of the working table.
14.2 Automatic tool change macro
On Company website http://www.cs-lab.eu there is available a sample macro that supports the automatic
tool change (m6Start.m1s). Unfortunately, due to the higher degree of complexity and the fact that often
spindles from different producers have different information signals logistic – there is often required a
strict adjustment to a concrete machine tool.
CS-Lab S.C. Company provides services for launching, configuration and adaptation of the control system
for specific needs.
We also offer complete solutions - the entire control box preparation, launching, configuration and
preparation of the macro for specialized tasks, etc.
