Features of the NC1 system software
NC1 system software provides the following measuring and
calibration features:
Measuring subroutine features
Four measuring subroutines provide the following features:
n L9862 – used for measuring the length and diameter of the
cutting tool and for cutting edge checking.
n L9863 – used for broken tool detection by plunge measurement.
This is intended for use on vertical machining centres.
n L9864 – used for broken tool detection by radial measurement.
This is intended for use on horizontal machining centres.
n L9865 – used for checking the radii and linear profile of the cutter.
Calibration subroutine features
Two calibration subroutines provide the following features:
n L9860 – used for aligning the laser beam, setting the provisional
positions of the beam in the spindle and radial-measuring axes,
and setting the measuring position along the beam.
n L9861 – used for calibrating the positions of the laser beam in the
spindle and radial-measuring axes, and for temperature
compensation of the spindle and radial-measuring axes.
