Example Of a Calibration Cut
Example of a tool at 1.0” in Diameter.
1.
Measure the width of the rectangle and offset the tool diameter calibration by half
the difference between the expected width and actual width measured.
•
For Example
: Running a rectangle with
Width
set to 1.5 in KvalCAM
• If 1.6 is measured, adjust the tool diameter calibration (1.5 – 1.6)/2 = – 0.05.
• If 1.45 is measured then adjust the tool diameter (1.5 – 1.45)/2 = 0.025.
2.
Rerun the rectangle at another location and repeat the step above until there is no
measurable difference between the input width and measured width of the rectangle.
3.
During this process, measure the depth to calibrate the Z axis of the tool.
4.
Once the tool
Diameter
and
Z axis
calibrations are verified, calibrate the
X axis
, and
Y
axis by measuring from the edges of the rectangle to the edges of the door. Enter
offsets to adjust the cut match the Door Job.
