Manual calibration. Calibration without a probe
Calibration in a mill model
• On milling tools, the tool length is calibrated and the wear value is set to zero. The radius
and radius wear may be set manually.
To calculate the length, it takes into account the coordinate of the longitudinal axis of the
tool in the active plane (G17, G18, G19, G20), the tool orientation on the (#TOOL AX)
axis and the coordinate of the reference part. For the calibration, it assumes that the
coordinate of the reference part refers to the longitudinal axis of the tool.
• For the lathe tools, it calibrates the tool offsets on each axis. The offset wears are set
to zero.
Tool calibration in a lathe model (Configuration of plane type axes).
For lathe and mill tools, it calibrates the tool offsets on each axis. When validating the
calibration in one of the offsets, the wear of that offset is reset to zero.
Tool calibration in a lathe model (Configuration of trihedron type axes).
• For the lathe tools, it calibrates the tool offsets on each axis. When validating the
calibration in one of the offsets, the wear of that offset is reset to zero.
• There are two options for the milling tools and may be selected with the following icons.
Validating the calibration.
They are validated from the vertical softkey menu. Once the tool has been calibrated, when
pressing [START] the CNC assumes the new values of the offset.
When on a lathe the axis have a "trihedron" type configuration, the calibration on the axis
perpendicular to the work plane is done using the horizontal softkey menu.
Definition of data
To define the data, place the focus on the relevant data, key in the desired value and press
[ENTER].
For a lathe tool.
The nomenclature of the axes depends on the geometrical configuration of the "plane" or
"trihedron" axes. For a "plane" configuration, the names of the axes assume the DIN standard
for lathes; the Z axis as the abscissa axis and the X axis as the ordinate axis.
Tool length calibration. This option may be used to update the length value
and resets the wear value to zero. It also updates the tool table data.
Tool offset calibration. This option may be used to update the value of the
offsets on each axis. The offset wears are set to zero.
Softkey. Description.
Validating the length calibration of a milling tool.
Validating the offsets of a milling tool.
Validating the offsets of a lathe tool.
Data Meaning
Zp Xp Dimensions of the reference part being used in the calibration. These coordinates
are referred to the main axes of the tool.
T Tool to be calibrated.
