Position after measuring-cycle call
On completion of the cycle, the tool nose is
positioned facing the measuring surface and
_FA from it.
Programming example
Calibrating the tool probe with subsequent measurement of turning tool (machine-related)
Calibration tool T7, D1 is to be used to
calibrate all 4 sides of probe 1. After that,
turning tool T3, D1 is to be remeasured in
both lengths L1 and L2 (wear calculation).
The dimensions of the calibration tool T7 are
in lengths L1, L2 and the radius R = 5.0 mm
are known precisely and entered in offset
field D1.
The cutting edge position is SL = 3.
The default values of probe 1 as applied in data block GUD6 with a tolerance of approx. 1
mm:
_TP[0,0] = 220
_TP[0,1] = 200
_TP[0,2] = 400
_TP[0,3] = 380
After calibration, the measured value (calibration value) is set.
