2.7.1 Manual calibration. Calibration without a probe
In this mode, only the active tool can be calibrated and it may be a milling tool or a lathe tool.
The CNC will show the necessary data and will update the help graphics according to the
selected tool.
A Machine data. Position of the axes, tool and active tool offset, real spindle speed and
real feedrate of the axes.
B Data of the part used for calibration and drawing showing that calibration is possible. If
the window does not show this drawing, some of the data is missing.
C Necessary data for calibration.
D Tool data.
Tool calibration
Since there is no probe, a reference part is required to calibrate the tool. The calibration
consists in moving the tool manually until it touches the part and then validating the calibration
on each axis. After validating them, the new values are saved in the tool table.
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 if the defined tool is the active tool, when pressing [START] the CNC
assumes the values that the offset has at the time.
Tool calibration
• On milling tools, the tool length is calibrated and the wear value is set to zero. The radius
and radius wear may be set manually.
To calculate the length, it takes into account the coordinate of the longitudinal axis of the
tool in the active plane (G17, G18, G19, G20), the tool orientation on the (#TOOL AX)
axis and the coordinate of the reference part. For the calibration, it assumes that the
coordinate of the reference part refers to the longitudinal axis of the tool.
• For the lathe tools, it calibrates the tool offsets on each axis. The offset wears are set
to zero.
