December 2001 Touch Probe 6 – 351
Calibration To calibrate the touch probe from within the NC program:
7
77
7 In MP618x.0 and MP618x.1.x, enter the approximate position of the ring
gauge center.
7
77
7 In MP618x.2, enter the surface of the ring gauge with respect to the spindle
nose. Be sure to consider the length of the touch probe or of the tool.
7
77
7 In MP6185, enter the distance of the probing point below the ring’s top
surface
If you probe from opposite orientations during calibration, the control stores
the spindle orientation position during calibration (calculation of center offset
for X and Y). You can probe at any spindle angle at a later date and the control
will consider the current spindle angle and compensate for the center offset
accordingly. Therefore, you do not need to orient the spindle to a specific
position for probing.
