Calibrating 3-D touch probes (option
17)
Introduction
In order to precisely specify the actual trigger point of a 3-D touch
probe, you must calibrate the touch probe, otherwise the TNC
cannot provide precise measuring results.
Always calibrate a touch probe in the following cases:
Commissioning
Broken stylus
Stylus exchange
Change in the probe feed rate
Irregularities caused, for example, when the
machine heats up
Change of active tool axis
When you press the
OK
soft key after calibration,
the calibration values are applied to the active
touch probe. The updated tool data then become
immediately effective, there is no need to retrieve
the tool again.
During calibration, the TNC finds the effective length of the stylus
and the effective radius of the ball tip. To calibrate the 3-D touch
probe, clamp a ring gauge or a stud of known height and known
radius to the machine table.
The TNC provides calibration cycles for calibrating the length and
the radius:
Press the

Calibrating the length
Measure the radius and the center
offset using a calibration ring
Measure the radius and the center
offset using a stud or a calibration pin
Measure the radius and the center
offset using a calibration sphere
