Measuring with measurement subroutines

Secure a calibration sphere to the machining table and clamp a probe in the tool holder. It is also possible to secure the calibration sphere in the spindle and the probe to the table.

Before starting the calibration program, position the probe roughly above the centre point of the calibration sphere. The rotary axes must be in zero position. If the calibration sphere is at a known position, it can be moved towards it from the measurement program.

The kinematic offsets and tool length must be approximately correct (drawing dimensions) since the individual poses are approached using the kinematic transformation.
