7.3 Probing Cycles
Manual Tool-Length Offset Preset
Updates tool-length register. To be used for large face mill style
tools or shell mill tools that have a hole in the center of the bottom
of the tool.
This cycle is used to measure the length of large face mill style tools
that have a hole in the center of the bottom of the tool.
Field Code Description
Tool# T Tool number. (Required)
With only the T parameter present, the
spindle turns on in reverse and the canned
cycle comes straight down measuring the
tool length and storing it in the tool-length
register. The T parameter must the same as
the current tool in the spindle.
EstDiam D This is the rough diameter of the tool and is
only used in this cycle to determine if the
spindle should be turned on in reverse or
forward. If you have a left-handed tool you
would give a negative value to the
diameter. If this parameter is left off, the
control always turns on in reverse by
default. (Optional)
OvrMed
Feed
M This is the override for the medium
feedrate that was set in the machine setup
parameter ZFirstPickFeedRate_Medium.
Sometimes there may be a tool that has a
large diameter making it necessary to slow
it down to prevent the touch probe from
being hit too hard. This can only be set
slower. Trying to set this higher will result
in the software using the original feedrate.
