Displaying calibration values
The TNC saves the effective length and effective radius of the touch
probe in the tool table. The TNC saves the ball-tip center misalignment
in the touch-probe table, in the CAL_OF1 (principal axis) and CAL_OF2
(minor axis) columns. You can display the values on the screen by
pressing the TOUCH-PROBE TABLE soft key.
Make sure that you have activated the correct tool number
before using the touch probe, regardless of whether you
wish to run the touch probe cycle in automatic mode or
manual mode.
The determined calibration values are not considered until
a tool is called (or called again, if required).
For more information about the touch probe table, refer to
the User’s Manual for Cycle Programming.
