Beam alignment
Description
Load the calibration tool in the spindle of the machine. Using either
the jog or handwheel mode, move the tool to the position that is to
be used for tool setting – usually midway along the beam and
approximately 10 mm (0.394 in) above the centre of the beam.
Refer to the figure on page 25. The cycle measures the beam then
returns to the centre position and stops on an M00 program stop.
After beam alignment adjustments have been made, the cycle should
be restarted to identify new alignment errors.
Setting data
Ensure the settings in subroutine L9760 are correct before
proceeding. For details, see "Setting-data subroutine L9760" on page
13.
