MANUAL (JOG) MODE. TOOL
CALIBRATION
Tool calibration is available in the jog mode. The softkey to access tool calibration will
be different depending on the software installed (lathe model or mill model). To quit
the calibration mode and return to jog mode, press the [ESC] key.
The CNC offers in both models the possibility to calibrate lathe tools and milling tools.
The CNC will show the necessary data and will update the help graphics according
to the selected tool.
Types of calibration
There are several ways to calibrate a tool. Some ways are only available when using
a table-top probe.
The active kinematics are taken into account and do not prevent tool calibration in
this mode. Manual or semi-automatic calibration will not be possible if a coordinate
( #CS or #ACS) transformation is active or when either the RTCP or TLC function is
active.
Manual calibration.
It is done without the table-top probe. A reference part is required to calibrate the tool.
All the movements are carried out manually.
Semi-automatic calibration.
Available when using a table-top probe. It cannot be used to calibrate lathe tools. The
positioning movements are carried out manually and the CNC executes the probing
movements.
Automatic calibration.
Available when using a table-top probe. The CNC executes all the movements using
the calibration canned cycle

Only manual calibration is possible when not using a table-top probe. All types of
calibration are available when using a table-top probe. The different calibration
methods may be selected from the vertical softkey menu.
