CALIBRATION5

Tool calibration is available in the jog mode. The softkey to access tool calibration will be different depending on the software installed (lathe model or mill model). To quit the calibration mode and return to jog mode, press the [ESC] key.

The CNC offers in both models the possibility to calibrate lathe tools and milling tools. The CNC will show the necessary data and will update the help graphics according to the selected tool.

Types of calibration

There are several ways to calibrate a tool. Some ways are only available when using a table-top probe.

Only manual calibration is possible when not using a table-top probe. All types of calibration are available when using a table-top probe. The different calibration methods may be selected from the vertical softkey menu.

The active kinematics are taken into account and do not prevent tool calibration in this mode. Manual or semi-automatic calibration will not be possible if a coordinate ( #CS or #ACS) transformation is active or when either the RTCP or TLC function is active.

Manual calibration.

It is done without the table-top probe. A reference part is required to calibrate the tool.

All the movements are carried out manually.

Semi-automatic calibration.

Available when using a table-top probe. It cannot be used to calibrate lathe tools. The positioning movements are carried out manually and the CNC executes the probing movements.

CNC 8070

Automatic calibration.

Available when using a table-top probe. The CNC executes all the movements using the calibration canned cycle #PROBE.
