Tool calibration
4.3 Tool calibration
There are three tool calibration levels in conversational TC mode managing the Y axis:
Level 1: Manual tool calibration and with a probe.
Selecting the manual tool calibration using a known part shows, with Y axis, the following screen:
Observe that the <tool calibration> area of this window shows the label "Y-ENTER" and the "Y" and
"J" fields.
To make the measurement, once the tool has been moved manually until touching the part and
[ENTER] is pressed inside the Y field, the CNC calculates the new length and assigns it to the field
of the active tool offset. Parameter J is set to 0.
Selecting the manual tool calibration using a probe shows, with Y axis, the following screen:
When having a Y axis, just like with the rest of the axes, it is possible to enter the approach distance
"
", the approach feedrate "F" and the side of the probe being probed "Y+" or "Y-". If no value is
entered for "", it takes the value of g.m.p. PRBMODE. Likewise, if no value is entered for "F, it takes
the value of a.m.p. PRBFEED.
Observe that the <tool calibration> area of this window shows the "Y" and "J" fields and the icon
"Y+", "Y-".
When done probing, the CNC calculates the new length that is updated in the Y field on the screen.
Parameter J is set to 0.
