MANUAL (JOG) MODE. TOOL
CALIBRATION
Tool calibration is available in the jog mode. The softkey to access tool calibration will be
different depending on the software installed (lathe model or mill model). To quit the
calibration mode and return to jog mode, press the [ESC] key.
The CNC offers in both models the possibility to calibrate lathe tools and milling tools. The
CNC will show the necessary data and will update the help graphics according to the selected
tool.
Types of calibration
There are several ways to calibrate a tool. Some ways are only available when using a table-
top probe.
The active kinematics are taken into account and do not prevent tool calibration in this mode.
Manual or semi-automatic calibration will not be possible if a coordinate ( #CS or #ACS)
transformation is active or when either the RTCP or TLC function is active.
Manual calibration. Calibration without a probe.
It is done without the table-top probe. A reference part is required to calibrate the tool. All
the movements are carried out manually.
Semi-automatic calibration. Calibration with a probe.
This calibration mode is available when using a table-top probe. The positioning movements
are carried out manually and the CNC executes the probing movements.
Automatic calibration. Calibration with a probe and a canned cycle.
This calibration mode is available when using a table-top probe. The CNC executes all the
movements using the calibration canned cycle #PROBE.
Softkey. Type of calibration.
Tool calibration in a mill model.
Tool calibration in a lathe model.
Only manual calibration is possible when not using a table-top probe.
All types of calibration are available when using a table-top probe. The
different calibration methods may be selected from the vertical softkey
menu.
