Wireless Intuitive Probe System

Both the work probe and the tool probe must be calibrated before WIPS probing

during manufacture.

This document assumes that:

• both the OMP40-2 work probe and the OTS tool probe are correctly installed and operational
• the user is familiar with the safe operation of Haas machine tools and the functionality of the control
This document is designed to supplement the information provided by the WIPS software screens: it is not intended to
provide stand alone instruction.

Work probe calibration

From starting position x 3 = WORK PROBE CALIBRATION

Work probe calibration requires the use of an inner diameter calibration ring, ring gauge or bored hole of known diameter.
Securely fix the calibration artefact being used to the machine table.
Load a calibration bar to the machine spindle.
Place a shim of known thickness on the top surface of the calibration artefact.
