HASS VF-2/ RENISHAW PROBE

[CLEVELAND23]

Does anyone know how to change the tool number of the probe. The Tech set up as T1, I need it to be T24. The presetter is already off our table, and sub plates are being used. So i can not use VQC to recalibrate the Probe. I tried changing probe macros, nothing seem to work.

Thanks,

this is telling anything itself :

if you don`t see anyway , there is a parameter #29

recalibrate your probe, it will ask you what pocket it is in

pit202, Thanks for the help, I think form what your saying is to change

"T#29 M06
G43 H#29"
To
#24 MO6
G43 H#24
In my case, Because i need probe in tool 24.
My Screen has a few more varibles on display, We do have latest version of HAAS software. I dont know if this changes anything? Sent Email to a HAAS Tech

[pit202]

oh no , you didn`t understand you need to change :

#29= 20 (PROBE OFFSET)
to
#29= 24 (PROBE OFFSET)

this will help.

THIS IS WHAT I GOT.

[pit202]

here is the magic :

#29= #[ #161 + 4 ] (PROBE OFFSET #560) 
[...]
T#29 M06 
G43 H#29

you have newer macros, just change ... and try
#29= #[ #161 + 4 ] (PROBE OFFSET #560)
to :
#29= 24

I don`t know the new VQC , change it or maybe you need to recalibrate your probe like "GaryCorlew" wrote.

PIT, THAT WORKED I APPRECIATE THE HELP......

[kevinjgerber]

Have to change in the tool pocket table. Press current commands then page up or down till you find it. Then you can hit F1 for help but its pretty easy to figure out.

[Matt@RFR]

I have mine as T25. Don't forget that the SMTC's are 24+1 tools!

[gpcoe]

Tool number for the spindle probe is saved on macro variable 560. It should have a 1 in it now if it's calibrated to tool 1.
