General information

Function
Cycle CYCLE982 permits
• calibration of a tool probe,
• measurement of tool lengths L1 and L2 for turning tools with cutting edge positions 1 to 8,
• the tool lengths for milling tools and drills on turning machines,
• the radius for milling tools.
NC software of at least SW 5 is needed for measuring milling cutters/drills.
The following measurement and calibration tasks are supported by CYCLE982:
• Calibrate as preparation for measurement/automatic measurement
• Calibrate in increments as preparation for incremental measurement
6-18
The 4 switching positions of the probe are roughly known and entered in the array of the
associated tool probe. Positioning of the calibration tool with respect to the probe is
performed in the cycle. It is only possible to determine the switching position that is in the
measuring axis _MA and measuring direction according to starting position.
The switching positions of the probe are not known. The calibration tool must have been
positioned in front of the probe manually (in JOG mode) before the cycle is called. It is
only possible to determine the switching position that is in the measuring axis _MA and
the stated measuring direction _MD. Only the probe switching position in which the axis
and direction will subsequently be measured incrementally have to be calibrated.
