Tool-eye Calibration

*Adjust the tool-eye height until the tip of the insert is at the center of the sensor. Adjustment is
achieved by rotating the eccentric pin.

*Adjust the parallelism of the two machined surfaces on the sensor to be parallel to the x-axis
within (0.000079 in.).

*Parameter (B61) -The measurement of the distance from sensor contacts (X1)-(X2). Using
the machine as a measuring device, select a boring tool. In manual mode using the shaft of the
tool, move the tool toward the sensor (X1) until sensor beeps. On the position page change x-axis
to (0.0000). Now move the tool toward the sensor (X2). Take the new # that now appears on the
position page under the x-axis. Divide the position by two, then subtract the diameter of the tool
shaft. The remaining value is the new parameter.

*Parameter (B62)-The measurement of the distance from sensor contacts (Z1)-(Z2). Using
the machine as a measuring device, clamp a boring tool shaft to the turret pointing in the x-axis
direction. In manual mode move the tool shaft toward the sensor (Z1) until sensor beeps. On the
position page change z-axis to (0.0000). Now move the tool shaft toward the sensor (Z2). Take
the new # that now appears on the position page under the z-axis and subtract the diameter of the
tool shaft, the remaining value is the new parameter.

*Parameter (B63)-The measurement of the distance from sensor contact (X1) to spindle center
line. Lightly turn a piece of bar stock and measure the diameter of the bar after the cut. (Note:
after turning the stock don’t back the x-axis off of the stock.). Go to tool data page. Cursor down
in tool set column x to tool that is being used. Press menu button teach, then input the diameter
of stock. Record the value that appears in the tool-set column. Next teach the same tool using the
tool eye. Compare the previous value to the new value in the tool set column and add or subtract
half the difference to the parameter (B63).

*Parameter (B64)-The measurement of the distance from sensor contact (Z1) to the face of the
chuck. Using a turning tool , move the tip of the tool toward the sensor (Z1) until it beeps. On the
position page change z-axis to (0.0000). Using a 100mm gauge block, move the tool tip toward
face of chuck until the tip is 100mm away from chuck. Take the value that is now displayed
under the z-axis and subtract it from the value in parameter (A8), this is the new value for (B64).
