Calibrate tool probe (machine-related)

6.2.2.1

General information

Function
The cycle uses the calibration tool to ascertain the current distance dimensions between the
machine zero and the probe trigger point and automatically loads them into the appropriate
data area in data block GUD6 (_TP [ ]fields).
Values are corrected without empirical and mean values.
Note
If no special calibration tool is available, a turning tool with cutting edge position SL=3 can be
used instead for calibration of 2 sides of the probe (see Section "Determining dimensions of
calibration").
Requirements
Length 1 and 2 and the radius of the calibration tool must be known exactly and stored in a
tool offset data block.
This tool offset must be active when the measuring cycle is called. A turning tool must be
specified as the tool type (type 5xy). The cutting edge position must be SL= 3.
