ACU-RITE 3500i 215
7.3 Probing Cycles
Field Code Description
DistDown E The incremental distance from the current Z
Retract amount to go down along the side
of the probe stylus when doing a diameter
pick. The maximum E value is 0.55" (13.97
mm) or the tool may crash into the probe or
table. If you enter a value larger than 0.55"
(13.97 mm), the control issues an error
message. If E is not set, the cycle uses a
default value of 0.1" (2.54 mm). (Optional)
[Default: 0.1"]
Ball nose cutters and special cutters that
require a move down more than 0.55"
(13.97 mm) are not supported.
Z Retract Amount is set in the Tool Probe
Parameters.
Update U If this is undefined or set to 0, the G154
cycle does not update the diameter or
length wear register each time it checks a
tool. If set to one, the cycle updates the
wear registers. In both cases, the control
alarms when the maximum limit set in K or
J has been exceeded. (Optional)
ToolLife Q Select Yes or No if the Tool Life has been
entered into the Tool Table for the tool in
use.
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.
