PROBING CANNED CYCLES (MILLING)
ISO coded cycles are defined with the #PROBE instruction followed by the number of the cycle to be executed
and the call parameters.
The optional parameters appear between angular brackets .
#PROBE 1. Tool calibration (dimensions and wear)
#PROBE 1 B <I> <J> F <K> <S> <N> <D> <L>
<M> <C> <X U Y V Z W>
J Type of operation.
• "J"=0: Tool calibration.
• "J"=1: Tool wear measurement.
F Probing feedrate.
K Probe side to be used:
• "K"=0: Calibration on the X+ side.
• "K"=1: Calibration on the X- side.
• "K"=2: Calibration on the Y+ side.
• "K"=3: Calibration on the Y- side.
S Speed and turning direction of the tool.
N Number of edges to measure.
D Distance from the probing point.
L Maximum length wear allowed.
M Maximum radius wear allowed.
B Safety distance. C Behavior when exceeding the maximum wear:
I Dimension of the tool to be calibrated: • "C"=0: it shows a message of rejected tool and
stops the cycle.
• "C"=1: the cycle replaces the worn out tool with
another one of the same family.
• "I"=0: length, along the tool shaft.
• "I"=1: length, at one end of the tool.
• "I"=2: the radius.
• "I"=3: the tool radius and length.
