Tool calibration
2.7.3 Tool calibration with a probe (level 2)
This calibration level requires the purchase of the right software options purchased and the use of
a table-top probe.
Once the cycle has concluded, it updates the tool offset table with the length value X Z of the tool
offset that is currently selected. The I and K values are updated to 0.
Defining the cycle data
The following data must be defined.
• Tool number (T) and tool offset (D) to be calibrated.
• Safety distance (Ds) for probe approach.
• Probing feedrate (F).
Probe position.
In this zone, one must indicate whether the cycle assumes the probe position defined in the machine
parameters or the position defined in this zone. To select one of them, use the cursor to select the
"Machine parameters / Programmable parameters" field and press the two-color key.
TOOL WEAR MEASUREMENT
In this cycle, besides calibrating a tool, it is also possible to measure tool wear.
Using the tool wear measuring operation, the user can define the maximum tool wear value. After
several tool wear measuring probing operations, the wear will increase and when it exceeds the set
maximum value, the tool will be rejected.
To perform this cycle it is necessary to have a table-top probe, installed in a fixed position on the
machine and with its faces parallel to axes X, Y, Z.
When accessing this calibration level, the CNC shows the following information:
A. Indicating the selected work mode.
B. Graphic assistance for tool calibration.
C. Current machine status.
D. Tool number and associated offset.
E. Calibration data.
F. Type of operation and wear values.
G. Probe position.
This level may be saved as part of a part-program using the [P.PROG] key or executed using the
[START] key.
