Calibrate probe (CYCLE971)

Function
This measuring version can be used to calibrate a tool probe machine-related or workpiece-
related.
Values are corrected without empirical and mean values.
Measuring principle
The current clearances between machine zero (machine-related calibration) or workpiece
zero (workpiece-related calibration) and the probe trigger point are determined with the aid of
the calibration tool. The cycle positions the calibration tool to the probe.
Calibrate: Probe (CYCLE971), axis-by-axis
Axis-by-axis calibration
For "axis by axis" calibration, the probe is calibrated in the parameterized measuring axis
and measuring direction. The probing point can be centered in the offset axis. The actual
center of the tool probe is determined first in the offset axis before the calibration is
performed in the measuring axis.
