10.4 Calibrating the tool probe.
To be able to measure your tools automatically, you must first determine the position of the
tool probe in the machine area in relation to the machine zero. In case of the X-axis
direction, the correct tool length must be obtained first before this proceeding
(1) Procedure
1) Change the calibrating tool.
2) Select "JOG" mode in the "Machine" operating area.
3) Press the "Meas. tool" and "Calibrate probe" softkeys.
4) Press the "X" or "Z" softkey, depending on which point of the
tool probe you wish to determine first.
5) Select the direction (+ or -), in which you would like to approach
the tool probe.
6) Position the calibrating tool in the vicinity of the tool probe in
such a way that any collisions can be avoided when the first
point of the tool probe is being approached.
7) Press the <CYCLE START> key.
The calibration process is started, i.e. the calibrating tool is
automatically traversed at the measurement feedrate to the
probe and back again. The position of the tool probe is
determined and saved in an internal data area.
8) Repeat the process for the other points of the tool probe.
