2.7.3 Tool calibration with a probe (level 2)
This calibration level requires the purchase of the right software options purchased and the use of
a table-top probe.
When accessing this level, the CNC shows the following screen.
A. Indicating the selected work mode.
B. Graphic assistance for tool calibration.
C. Current machine status.
D. Tool number and associated offset.
E. Calibration data.
F. Type of operation and wear values.
G. Probe position.
This level may be saved as part of a part-program using the [P.PROG] key or executed using the
[START] key.
Defining the cycle data
The following data must be defined. Not all the data will always be available; the cycle will show the
necessary data according to the chosen operation.
• Safety distance (Ds) for probe approach.
• Probing feedrate (F).
• Type of calibration or measurement.
The cycle allows calibrating or measuring the following dimensions; only the tool length along
its shaft or on its tip, only the radius or the length and the radius.
• Speed (S) and turning direction of the tool. Select the turning direction opposite to the cutting
direction.
• Number of cutting edges (N) to be measured.
• The probe side to be used (X+ X- Y+ Y-). Only when calibrating or measuring the radius.
• The distance from the tool shaft to the probing point (d). Only when calibrating or measuring the
length at one end.
• Distance referred to the theoretical tool tip being probed (h). This parameter may be very useful
on tools with cutters whose bottom is not horizontal.
