 Calibration methods

Although a variety of probe calibration methods are

available, the routines remain similar for each; it is
actually the reference features that are chosen and set up
differently.
The most widely applicable method is explained here: in
the case of machines with rotary axes (5-axis machines)
it is essential that this method is followed. There are
alternative methods for 3-axis machines.

 Spindle probe calibration

This example describes how to carry out full calibration of the

probe of an internal feature using macros O9801, O9802 and
O9804, using a 50.001 mm (1.9685 in) diameter ring gauge,
with a known centre position and top face height value.
The approximate probe length must be stored in the tool offset
register before running this program. Set the exact X, Y and Z
feature positons in a work offset (example using G54).

Tool setting calibration

Manually position the reference tool to approximately

10 mm (0.4 in) above the stylus and approximately on the
centre-line of the stylus.
When the program is run, all macro variable data is set
and the probe is fully calibrated.
The reference tool makes the following measurements:
1. Z measure on top of the stylus (four touches).
2. Measure 3 sides of the stylus, depends on setting in
09750.
3. Return to 10 mm (0.4 in) above the stylus and
on-centre.

Rotating tool setting software

Tool length / diameter setting

The tool is manually positioned over the stylus within
10 mm of the surface. The following examle program is
then executed.

Automatic tool measurement

The tool will be positioned over the stylus, then measure

the length and diameter before returning to the home
position and updating the relevant offsets.
Example
1. G65 P9857 B3. T1. D20.
(automatically measures length offset No. 1 and diameter
offset No. 1 for a 20 diameter tool).
Broken tool detection
After machining, the tool is
positioned by the program over the
stylus before running the following
cycle to check the length or
diameter offset.
Example
1. G65 P9858 B1. T1. H0.2
(tool breakage tolerance ± 0.2 mm).

 Inspection Plus legend

Bb Angle tolerance of the surface, e.g. 30 degrees ± 1 degree

inputs A30. B1.
Ee Experience value. Specify the number of a spare tool offset
where an adjustment value to the measured size is stored.
Ff Percent feedback when updating a tool offset. Enter a value
between O and 1 (0% and 100%). Default = 100%.
Also: Feedrate in the protected positioning macro (O9810).
Example: F15 sets a feedrate of 15 mm/min. (F.6 sets a
feedrate of 0.6 in/min.)
Hh Tolerance value of a feature dimension being measured.
Example: for dimension 50.0 mm + 0.4 mm -0 mm, the nomi-
nal tolerance is 50.2 mm with H.2.
Ii See the relevant measuring cycles and specific macro calls.
Jj See the relevant measuring cycles and specific macro calls.
Kk See the relevant measuring cycles and specific macro calls.
Mm True position tolerance of a feature. A cylindrical zone about
the theoretical positon. Example: M.1 sets a true position
tolerance of 0.1 mm.
Qq Probe overtravel distance for use when the default values are
unsuitable. The probe will then travel beyond expected position
when it searches for a surface. Default = 4 mm in the Z-axis,
and 10 mm in the X and Y axes.
Rr An incremental dimension that is used in external features,
e.g. bosses and webs, to give a radial clearance from the
nominal target surface prior to a Z-axis move. Default = 5 mm.
Example: R10. sets a radial clearance of 10 mm.
R-r Similar to Rr, except that the clearance is applied in the
opposite direction to force an internal boss or web cycle.
Default = 5 mm. Example: R-10. sets a radial clearance of
-10 mm.
Ss Work offset number which will be set. The work offset number
will be updated. S1 to S6 (G54 to G59) AS0 (external work
offset). S101 to S148 (G54.1 P1 to G54.1 P48) additional
offsets option.
23
 Inspection Plus legend (cont.)

Tt Tool offset number to be updated.

Uu Upper tolerance limit. If this value is exceeded there is no tool
offset or work offset updated and the cycle is stopped with an
alarm. This tolerance is applied to both size and position where
applicable. Example: U2. to set the upper tolerance limit to 2
mm.
Vv Null band. This is the tolerance zone where no tool offset
adjustment occurs. Default = 0. Example: V.5. for a tolerance
zone of ± 0.5 mm.
Ww Print data 1. = increment the featuer number only.
2. = Increment the component number, and reset the feature
number. Example: W1.

24
 Tool settings legend

Bb Cycle type. 1 length. 2 Diameter only. 3 = Length + Diameter.

Dd Cutter diameter or reference tool diameter (omit for non-
rotating operation).
D+d Right handed cutting tools.
D-d “Left-handed cutting tools. e.g. S80. = 80 mm right-handed
cutting tool.”
Kk Experience value for length.
Ee Tool radius offset number to be updated. A type offsets only.
Rr Overtravel distance, and radial clearance when moving down
the side of the stylus (4.0 mm default).
Tt Tool offset number.
Qq Probe overtravel distance (4.0 mm default).
Zz Position for diameter measurement.
Mm Broken too flag.
Hh Tolerance is set to the ±h value programmed.
Ii Size adjustments to compensate for cutting conditions. A
positive value sets the tool radius small by the stated amount,
e.g. I = .01 sets the cutter radius small by 0.01.

To calculate spindle speed Legend

318 x m/min ÷ Ø = RPM 318 = Constant (1000 ÷ n)
e.g.: 318 x 150 ÷ 25 = 1908 RPM m/min = Surface speed
Ø = dia. of cutter/work piece
To calculate table feed Fz = Feed per tooth
Fz x Z x RPM = Vf Z = Number of teeth
e.g.: 0.22 x 2 x 1908 = 839.5 Vf = Table feed in mm/min
