458 Touch Probe Cycles: Special Functions
17.8 CALIBRATE TS (Cycle 460, DIN/ISO: G460)
17.8 CALIBRATE TS (Cycle 460,
DIN/ISO: G460)
Cycle run
With Cycle 460 you can calibrate a triggering 3-D touch probe
automatically on an exact calibration sphere. You can do radius
calibration alone, or radius and length calibration.
1 Clamp the calibration sphere and check for potential collisions.
2 In the touch probe axis, position the touch probe over the
calibration sphere, and in the working plane, approximately over
the sphere center.
3 The first movement in the cycle is in the negative direction of the
touch probe axis.
4 Then the cycle determines the exact center of the sphere in the
touch probe axis.
Please note while programming:
Before programming, note the following
Pre-position the touch probe in the program so that it is
located approximately above the center of the calibration
sphere.
