PROBE 1. Tool length calibrating canned cycle
12.3 PROBE 1. Tool length calibrating canned cycle
This is used to calibrate the length and radius of the selected tool. The following operations are
possible with this cycle.
• Calibrate the length of a tool.
• Calibrate the radius of a tool.
• To calibrate the tool radius and length.
• Measure the length wear of a tool.
• Measure the radius wear of a tool.
• Measure the radius wear and length wear of a tool.
To perform this cycle it is necessary to have a table-top probe, installed in a fixed position on the
machine and with its faces parallel to axes X, Y, Z. Its position will be indicated in absolute
coordinates with respect to machine zero by means of the general machine parameters:
PRBXMIN Indicates the minimum coordinate occupied by the probe along the X axis.
PRBXMAX Indicates the maximum coordinate occupied by the probe along the X axis.
PRBYMIN Indicates the minimum coordinate occupied by the probe along the Y axis.
PRBYMAX Indicates the maximum coordinate occupied by the probe along the Y axis.
PRBZMIN Indicates the minimum coordinate occupied by the probe along the Z axis.
PRBZMAX Indicates the maximum coordinate occupied by the probe along the Z axis.
If it is the first time that the tool length has been calibrated, it is advisable to include an approximate
value of its length (L) in the tool offset table.
