Configuring cycles
22.8 Measuring cycles and functions
Calibration data of the tool probe, referred to the machine coordinate system
Before calibration is started, the position of the tool probe in the machine coordinate system
(MCS) must be entered into the following general cycle setting data. In this case, the
reference point is the outer diameter or the tool length of the active tool in the spindle. If
there is no tool in the spindle, the reference points are the spindle center point and the tool
reference point at the spindle.
Note
Calibrate probe
If you have calibrated the tool probe in JOG mode, then the calibration data have already
been correctly entered in: SD54632 $SNS_MEA_TP_AX_DIR_AUTO_CAL[k]
Index [k] stands for the number of the actual data field (probe number -1).
SD54625 $SNS_MEA_TP_TRIG_MINUS_DIR_AX1[k]
SD54626 $SNS_MEA_TP_TRIG_PLUS_DIR_AX1[k]
SD54627 $SNS_MEA_TP_TRIG_MINUS_DIR_AX2[k]

SD54636 $SNS_MEA_TPW_FEED[k]
The general cycle setting data SD54632 $SNS_MEA_TP_AX_DIR_AUTO_CAL, is used to
define in which axes and directions it is possible to calibrate the tool probe.
