Machine controller

Probe and calibration sphere

The operator carries out the following steps:

• Install calibration sphere on machine table.
• Move rotary axes to 0.
• Clamp probe in tool holder; enter probe tool length.
• Use manual block or JOG to position the probe approximately centrally and at a clearance of several centimetres above the sphere.

Probe and sphere can be swapped. The layout is irrelevant for the cycle. The documentation only describes the case described above.
