Calibration of the workpiece probe on turning machines is usually performed with gauging
blocks (reference grooves). The precise dimensions of the reference groove are known and
entered in the associated data fields of the following general setting data:
● SD54615 $SNS_MEA_CAL_EDGE_BASE_AX1
● SD54616 $SNS_MEA_CAL_EDGE_UPPER_AX1
● SD54617 $SNS_MEA_CAL_EDGE_PLUS_DIR_AX1
● SD54618 $SNS_MEA_CAL_EDGE_MINUS_DIR_AX1
● SD54619 $SNS_MEA_CAL_EDGE_BASE_AX2
● SD54620 $SNS_MEA_CAL_EDGE_UPPER_AX2
● SD54621 $SNS_MEA_CAL_EDGE_PLUS_DIR_AX2
● SD54622 $SNS_MEA_CAL_EDGE_MINUS_DIR_AX2
The default setting has data fields for three gauging blocks. In the measuring cycle program,
the selection is made using the number of the gauging block (S_CALNUM).
It is also possible to calibrate on a known surface.
Measuring cycle CYCLE973 with various measuring variants is ready for calibration.
