Calibrate probe (CYCLE982)

Function
This measuring version can be used to calibrate a tool probe. Using the calibration tool, the
actual distances between machine or workpiece zero and the probe trigger points are
determined.
Values are corrected without empirical and mean values.
Note
If a special calibration tool is not available, a turning tool can be used instead with cutting
edge positions 1 to 4 for the calibration of 2 sides of the probe.
Measuring principle
Calibration with calibration tool
The calibration tool is shaped (angled) in such a way that the probe can be calibrated on all
4 sides with it.
Calibration with turning tool
When a turning tool is used for calibration, the probe can only be calibrated on 2 sides.
Calibrating the tool probe with a calibration tool Calibrating a tool probe with a turning tool
The cycle positions the calibration or turning tool to the probe. With a cycle call, the switching
position in the specified measuring axis and measuring direction is calibrated.
Preconditions
● Lengths 1 and 2 and the radius of the calibration or turning tool must be known exactly
● A 3D probe, turning (tool type 580) must be specified as tool type.
● Calibration with a calibration or turning tool with cutting edge positions 1 to 4 is possible.

and stored in a tool offset data set.
This tool offset must be active when the measuring cycle is called.
