6.3 Automatic calibration with a probe and a canned cycle
6.3.1 Mill or lathe model ("trihedron" geometrical configuration)
This option is only available when using a tabletop probe installed on the machine. This mode
may be used to calibrate both milling and lather tools. The CNC will show the necessary data
and will update the help graphics according to the selected tool.
A Machine data. Position of the axes, tool and active tool offset, real spindle speed and real
feedrate of the axes.
B Tool to be calibrated.
C Data for probe calibration and position.
D Data for tool wear measurement.
Tool calibration
The calibration is done using a probing canned cycle. The CNC moves the tool until touching
the probe and validates the calibration on each axis. The tool may be calibrated on both axes
of the plane or on the three axes of the trihedron.
The calibration begins when pressing the [CYCLE START] key. When the CNC finishes the
calibration on the selected axes, it updates the tool table with the measured values. Also,
the CNC assumes the new values.
Selecting a tool
In this calibration mode, the cycle itself changes the tool and the tool offset. There is no need
to previously place the tool in the spindle.
Bear in mind that pressing the [CYCLE START] key starts the calibration cycle.
Select another position for the probe.
Tool calibration
There are two options for the milling tools and may be selected with the following icons.
For the lathe tools, it calibrates the tool offsets on each axis. The offset wears are set to zero.
The calibration uses the probe position defined in the machine parameters.
Optionally, another position may be defined for the probe which will only be valid
for the defined calibration. The new position does not affect the values defined
in the machine parameters.
• Calibrate the offsets and resets the wears to zero.
• Calibrate the length and radius and measure the wears.
