Add a tip-anlge in code

jocke
Hi!

We have alot of angles for different probes defined. They are all calibrated once a day with a program that calls AUTOCALIBRATE/PROBE....ALL-TIPS-WITH-DEFAULTS... for every probe

It takes a while! :/

I'm looking for a way to minimize the number of defined tip-angles.

Is there a way in a program or vb-script to add a tip-angle and autocalibrate it for that perticular prg. And remove the angle at the end??

  • There are some possible issues with what I am seeing in this thread. The biggest issue is the controller. If you re-home the controller, then your cal-tool IS IN A NEW LOCATION, even if it is welded in place on the table because none of the machines I've ever seen will home to the exact same spot each time it homes.

    IF you have re-homed the machine, and then calibrate 'some' tips, they are no longer in relation to all the tips that you did NOT calibrate. This is not something that every one understands but shouuld.

    If a program uses multiple probes (with the use of a rack), it only compounds the issue.

    Marked sets are supposed to be a way around this, a marked set that calibrates the probes used in that program and a marked set that checks the part. Two icons for the operator to click on.
