08.96 5 Measuring Cycles for Milling Machines and Machining Centres
5.1.1 L976 Calibrating the workpiece probe in reference hole (plane)
5.1.1 L976 Calibrating the workpiece probe in reference hole (plane)
Function and application
The measuring cycle calibrates the probe clamped in the spindle in a reference hole. The trig-
ger points determined are loaded into the relevant MDC area.
The cycle positions the probe automatically into the selected reference hole. Positioning is
paraxial with linear interpolation over the shortest distance.
The probe is at the centre of the hole on completion of calibration.
Preconditions:
• The probe must be called with tool offset and G53.
• The dimensions of the reference hole in relation to the machine zero point must have been
input in the MDC area.
• The valid reference hole is specified with R12.
• Random start point
• The probe ball must be located above the upper edge of the reference hole.
The following parameters must be defined prior to call:

R12 Selection of reference hole
R13 = 0...359.5 Compensation
