2.7.2 Manual tool calibration with/without a probe (level 1)
Before measuring the tool, it must be defined in the tool table. See "2.7.1 Define the tool in the tool
table (level 1)" on page 53.
There are 2 ways to calibrate a tool.
• When having a tool setting table.
Use the window that shows the tool dimensions to define that data. Define the X Z dimensions
and the I, K wear.
• When not having any measuring device.
The measurements will be taken with the CNC. Use the window for tool calibration.
Manual tool calibration with/without a probe
When using a probe for calibrating, one must define the approach distance "

", the approach
feedrate "F" and the probe side to be probed. If "

" not defined, it will take this data from general
machine parameter "PRBMOVE". Likewise, If "F" not defined, it will take this data from axis machine
parameter "PRBFEED".
Once probing is completed, the screen updates the data.
Define the tool length or modify the length offsets
This window shows the dimensions assigned to the selected tool.
The X and Z data indicate the tool dimensions. I and K indicate the offset the CNC must apply to
compensate for tool wear.
The CNC adds the value of the "I" offset to X length and the value of the "K" offset to the Z length
to calculate the real dimensions (R+I, L+K) that must be used.
• Every time the X length or the Z length value is defined, the CNC sets the "I" and "K" fields to
0 respectively.
• The "I" and "K" data are accumulative. In other words, if the "I" has a value of 0.20 and the value
of 0.05 is entered, the CNC assigns the value of 0.25 (0,20+0,05) to the "I" field.
• If one sets I=0 or K=0, they are both reset to 0.
To change one of these values, select the corresponding field, key in the desired value and press
[ENTER].
In the manual tool calibration cycle, it is possible to calibrate the tool using a master part
or a probe. The type of calibration is defined with the following icon: Use the two-color
key to select one of them.
Tool calibration using a master part of known dimensions.
