PROBE 1. Tool length calibrating canned cycle
Programming format
The programming format for this cycle is.
(PROBE 1, B, I, F, J, K, L, C, D, E, S, M, C, N, X, U, Y, V, Z, W)
Certain parameters are only relevant in certain type of measurement. Later sections describe the
various options of this cycle and the parameters to be set in each one.
Parameters X, U, Y, V, Z, W.
Define the position of the probe. They are optional parameters that usually need not be defined.
On certain machines, due to lack of repeatability in the mechanical positioning of the probe, the
probe must be calibrated again before each tool calibration.
Instead of redefining machine parameters PRBXMIN, PRBXMAX, PRBYMIN, PRBYMAX,
PRBZMAX, PRBZMIN every time the probe is calibrated, those coordinates may be indicated in
parameters X, U, Y, V, Z, W, respectively.
The CNC does not modify the machine parameters. The CNC only takes into account the
coordinates indicated in X, U, Y, V, Z, W during this calibration. If any of the X, U, Y, V, Z, W fields
is left out, the CNC takes the value assigned to the corresponding machine parameter.
