5 Measuring Cycles for Milling Machines and Machining Centres 08.96
5.1.4 L976 Calibrating workpiece probe on any surface (applicate)
5.1.4 L976 Calibrating workpiece probe on any surface
(applicate)
Function and application
The measuring cycle enables the probe to be calibrated in the applicate on any surface,
e.g. at the workpiece, and thus to determine the length.
As from Version 3.5, the length can refer to the probe end (MDC 7004.5=1), otherwise it
refers to the ball centre (see also Section 1.4.3).
The probe is located above the calibration surface by the amount ”a” on completion of calibra-
tion.
Precondition:
The probe must be positioned with tool offset and without G53 to face the calibration surface.
The following parameters must be defined prior to call:
Parameters Description
R13 = 0...359.5 Compensation angle position for
monodirectional probe (see Section 2.5)
R22 Probe type/probe number (see Section 2.6)
R23 = 3 Calibrating on any surface (applicate) (see Section 2.7.4)
R25
R25 = 0
Variable measuring speed in mm/min
Standard cycle value
R27 = 1...R
max
Number of measurements at same location (typically 1..3)
R28 = 1...R
max
Multiplication factor for measurement path ”2a”
R30 Measuring axis (definition depending on R23)
R31
= 0
= 1
Axial direction (definition depending on R23)
Positive axial direction
Negative axial direction
R32 Set value for calibration
R33 Zero offset range
R36 Safe area
