PROBE 12. Tabletop probe calibration
12.14 PROBE 12. Tabletop probe calibration
This cycle makes it easier to calibrate the probe reducing machine preparation time.
Initial conditions
The tool used for calibration must properly calibrated in radius and length.
The values of the machine parameters of the probe must be close to their real values. These
parameters are the following:
• g.m.p. PRBXMIN (P40).
• g.m.p. PRBXMAX (P41).
• g.m.p. PRBYMIN (P42).
• g.m.p. PRBYMAX (P43).
• g.m.p. PRBZMIN (P44).
• g.m.p. PRBZMAX (P45).
Initial considerations
Measuring on the Z axis:
• If the Z coordinate of the tool before running the cycle is greater than or equal to the maximum
Z coordinate of the probe, the Z side of the probe that will be measured will correspond with its
maximum Z coordinate.
• If the Z coordinate of the tool before running the cycle is lower than or equal to the minimum Z
coordinate of the probe, the Z side of the probe that will be measured will correspond with its
minimum Z coordinate.
• If the Z coordinate of the tool before running the cycle is between the maximum and minimum
Z coordinates of the probe, the CNC will issue the relevant error message.
Measuring on the X axis:
• If the X coordinate of the tool before running the cycle is greater than half the maximum and
minimum X coordinates of the probe, the X side of the probe where the measuring will begin
will correspond with its maximum X coordinate.
• If the X coordinate of the tool before running the cycle is lower than or equal to half the maximum
and minimum X coordinates of the probe, the X side of the probe where the measuring will begin
will correspond with its minimum X coordinate.
Initial positioning move:
• If the Z coordinate of the tool before running the cycle is located separated from the Z side of
the probe to be measured by a distance smaller than the approach distance (B), the initial
positioning move of the tool will be carried out first on the Z axis up to that approach distance
and, then, in XY up to the approach distance from the X side of the corresponding probe.
• If the Z coordinate of the tool before running the cycle is located separated from the Z side of
the probe to be measured by a distance greater than or equal to the approach distance (B), the
initial positioning move of the tool will be carried out first in XY up to the approach distance from
the X side of the corresponding probe and then in Z up to that approach distance from the Z
side of the corresponding probe.
