PROBE 1. Tool length calibrating canned cycle
12.3.1 Calibrate the length or measure the length wear of a tool.
The type of operation (calibration or measurement) is selected when calling the cycle.
The calibration or measurement may be done on the tool shaft or on its tip. It is selected when calling
the canned cycle.
The programming format depends on the operation to carry out:
• Tool length calibration along its shaft.
(PROBE 1, B, I0, F, J0, X, U, Y, V, Z, W)
• Tool length calibration at its tip.
(PROBE 1, B, I1, F, J0, D, S, N, X, U, Y, V, Z, W)
• Measurement of the tool length wear along its shaft.
(PROBE 1, B, I0, F, J1, L, C, X, U, Y, V, Z, W)
• Measurement of the tool length wear at its tip.
(PROBE 1, B, I1, F, J1, L, D, S, C, N, X, U, Y, V, Z, W)
[ B5.5 ] Safety distance
It must be programmed with a positive value greater than 0.
[ I ] Type of calibration or wear measurement
The calibration may be done on the tool shaft or on its tip.
I = 0 Calibration of the tool length or measurement of the tool length wear along its
shaft.
I = 1 Calibration of the tool length or measurement of the tool length wear on its tip.
If not programmed, the cycle will assume the IO value.
[ F5.5 ] Probing feedrate
It sets the probing feedrate. It must be programmed in mm/minute or inches/minute.
[ J ] Type of operation
The calibration may be done on the tool shaft or on its tip.
J = 0 Tool calibration.
J = 1 Tool wear measurement.
[ L5.5 ] Maximum length wear allowed
When set to zero, the tool will not be rejected due to length wear. When the measured wear is greater
than the defined value, the tool will be rejected.
Only if J1 has been defined and tool life monitoring is being used. If not programmed, the canned
cycle will assume the L0 value.
I = 0. Tool calibration along its shaft.
It is useful for drilling tools, ball end-mills, or tools whose diameter is smaller
than the probe's probing surface.
This type of calibration is carried out with the spindle stopped.
I = 1. Tool calibration at its tip.
It is useful for calibrating tools with several cutting edges (end-mills), or tools
whose diameter is larger than the probe's probing surface.
This type of calibration may be carried out either with the spindle stopped or
turning in the opposite direction to the cutting direction.
