Semi-automatic calibration. Calibration with a probe
This option is only available when using a tabletop probe installed on the machine.
In this mode, only milling tools can be calibrated.
A. Machine data. Position of the axes, tool and active tool offset, real spindle speed
and real feedrate of the axes.
B. Area to define the calibration data.
It may be used to calibrate the length or the radius of the tool that is currently in the
spindle. After the calibration, the wear is reset to zero.
When changing the tool data, the tool table data is updated after calibration.
Tool calibration
The calibration consists in manually approaching the tool to the probe and then
command the CNC to execute the probing movement. The CNC will move the tool
on the selected axis until touching the probe. After touching the probe, it concludes
the calibration on that axis and updates the values.
Selecting a tool
The tool and the active tool offset may be changed from the calibration mode. After
defining the new tool or tool offset in the cycle data, press [CYCLE START] and the
CNC will execute the tool change.
Bear in mind that in this calibration mode, the [CYCLE START] key has two functions.
If a new tool has been selected, it executes the tool change. If the selected tool is the
active one, pressing [CYCLE START] initiates the calibration.
Tool calibration
In this mode, only milling tools can be calibrated. For these tools, the length and radius
may be calibrated. After calibrating one of the two dimensions, its wear value is reset
to zero.
Use the horizontal softkey menu to select the axis and the moving direction for the
calibration. Once selected and after placing the tool in the spindle, press [CYCLE
START] to start the calibration. The tool will move in the indicated direction until
touching the probe and it will then conclude the calibration updating the tool data with
the measured values.
Once a movement has been selected, the window will show a help drawing indicating
the type of calibration to be done, length or radius.
