Acu-Rite CNC 3500i user manual Inside Corner Finding, 223

Inside Corner Finding

Calibrate the work probe at least once before trying to use this cycle.

A preliminary tool-length offset must be set by eye for the work probe. The tool offset, and work coordinate must be active before using this cycle in a program. See Section 4, "Tool-Length Offsets" on page 73.

The Inside Corner Finding Cycle can be run from within a program or from the Manual Data Input Mode.

Field	Code	Description
Search	Q	Quadrant of corner to find.
Quad		0 = +,+ (upper right) 1 = -,+ (upper left)
		2 = -,- (lower left) 3 = +,- (lower right)
		(Required)
Top	H	If set to 1, the cycle finds the top of the part
		before finding the X & Y corner coordinate.
		Default is: 0. If H is not set or is set to 0, the
		Z-axis must be at the picking depth. If H =
		1, then the Z-axis must be within 0.1" (2.54
		mm) above the part. The probe stylus must
		be positioned within 0.1" (2.54 mm) from
		the outside of the corner in X & Y.
		(Optional)
DistDown	E	The distance to go down from the top of
		part to find X & Y coordinate of the corner.
		This is only used if H parameter is set to 1.
		Without any E value, the cycle brings the
		probe stylus center down past the top of
		the part after finding the top, 0.1" (2.54
		mm). (Optional)
DistSide	D	The distance over from the corner to find X
		& Y edge. This allows for a part corner that
		has a large chamfer or radius where you
		cannot pick the edge close to the
		theoretical corner or has an obstruction
		interfering with the default move. Default
		is: 0.4" (10.16 mm).
		(Optional)
DistBack	V	Specifies the distance away from the edge
		for the probe to fast feed to before trying to
		find it. Default is: 0.1"
		(2.54 mm) if not set. (Optional)
