Tram – Tool Probe
The purpose of this screen is to establish the location of the tool probe on the machine, and its Z-axis
position in relation to the B-axis center. This will allow the automated tool probing routines to execute
properly. The operator needs only to set the proper B-axis zero for the tool spindle being used (i.e. –
G54 or G55 B zero), and rough align the tool pin that is placed in the tool spindle over the top of the tool
probe tip. This can be done by manually jogging the machine over this location, or by tapping [MOVE L]
or [MOVE R] and pressing
CYCLE START
to go to the last known positions. Figure 5 will guide you
through this process.
This will have to be performed for each grinding spindle that the machine is equipped with. For a single
grinding spindle application it is advised to run both [ALIGN L] and [ALIGN R] to make sure the values are
input in the proper location for your machines configuration.
