Example
If the general cycle machine data SD54632 $SNS_MEA_TP_AX_DIR_AUTO_CAL has the
value 123, the tool probe is calibrated as follows in the G17 plane:
● X in both directions
● Y only in plus direction
● Z only in minus direction
SD54633 $SNS_MEA_TP_TYPE[k]
= 0
= 101
= 201
= 301
= 2
= 3
Calibration data of the tool probe referred to the workpiece coordinate system
Before calibration is started, the position of the tool probe in the workpiece coordinate system
(WCS) must be roughly entered into the following general cycle setting data. In this case, the
reference point is the outer diameter or the tool length of the active tool in the spindle. If there
is no tool in the spindle, the reference points are the spindle center point and the tool reference
point at the spindle.
Note
When measuring tools, ensure that the data of the adjustable zero offset or the basic reference
always correspond to the data when calibrating (measuring in WCS!).
Always make measurements and calibrate with the same adjustable zero offset.
