Softkey Meaning
Description of the softkeys of the tool calibration.
Tool calibration in a mill model.
Tool calibration in a lathe model.
If there is no tabletop probe, only manual calibration is
available. All types of calibration are available when
using a table-top probe. The different calibration
methods may be selected from the vertical softkey
menu.
Manual calibration (without a probe).
In this mode, only the active tool can be calibrated.
Since there is no probe, a reference part is required to
calibrate the tool. All the movements are carried out
manually.
Semi-automatic calibration (with a probe).
The positioning movements are carried out manually
and the CNC executes the probing movements.
Semi-automatic calibration (with a probe).
The CNC executes all the movements using the
calibration canned cycle #PROBE.
Probe selection. (*)
The CNC uses the active probe for calibration. The
active probe may be changed via part-program or MDI
using the instruction #SELECT PROBE.
#SELECT PROBE [1] #SELECT PROBE [2]
(*) Depending on the software version and when the manufacturer
has configured it, the CNC is capable of assigning the correct probe
for each operation.
