PROBE 1. Tool length calibrating canned cycle
12.3.2 Calibrate the radius or measure the radius wear of a tool
The type of operation (calibration or measurement) is selected when calling the cycle.
The programming format depends on the operation to carry out:
• Tool radius Calibration.
(PROBE 1, B, I2, F, J0, K, E, S, N, X, U, Y, V, Z, W)
• Radius wear measurement.
(PROBE 1, B, I2, F, J1, K, E, S, M, 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 = 2 Calibrate the radius or measure the radius wear of a tool.
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
J = 0 Tool calibration.
J = 1 Tool wear measurement.
[ K ] Probe side used
It sets the probe side being used to probe the radius.
K = 0 Side X+.
K = 1 Side X-.
K = 2 Side Y+.
K = 3 Side Y-.
[ E5.5 ] Distance from the tool tip to the probing point.
Distance referred to the theoretical tool tip being probed.
This parameter may be very useful with cutters whose bottom is not horizontal.
If not programmed, the cycle will assume the E0 value.
[ S±5.5 ] Speed and turning direction of the tool
To probe with the spindle running, the tool must be turning in the opposite direction to the cutting
direction.
• When set to 0, probing is carried out with the spindle stopped.
• When set with a positive value, the spindle starts in M3.
• When set with a negative value, the spindle starts in M4.
[ M5.5 ] Maximum radius wear allowed
When set to 0, the tool is not rejected due to radius 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, a value of
M0 will be assumed.
