Adjustment of radial run-out
GB
Always check radial run-out:
– After replacing the 3D-Touch Probe in the chuck of the machine tool
– After replacing a stylus
– After breakage of stylus
– After collision
4.1
Adjustment of X-axis
4.1.1
Turn spindle until X-axis of 3D-Touch Probe and X-axis of machine tool coincide.
4.1.2
Move towards stylus ball with the dial gauge until dial gauge reacts.
4.1.3
Set dial gauge to "0" (cf fig. 1).
4.1.4
Turn spindle with 3D-Touch Probe by 180°. The dial gauge now shows the
deviation of the X-axis (in example case dial reads 0.12 mm) (cf fig. 2).
4.1.5
Use inbus wrench and rotate the adjusting screw by half the value of the deviation
(in example case dial would now read 0.06 mm). X-axis ist now adjusted.
Figure 1
4.2.
Adjustment of Y-axis
4.2.1
Turn spindle with 3D-Touch Probe by another 90° (the dial of 3D-Taster faces now
in the direction of the dial gauge) (cf fig. 3).
4.2.2
Set dial gauge to "0".
4.2.3
Turn spindle with 3D-Touch Probe by another 180°. The dial gauge now shows the
deviation of the Y -axis (in example case 0.08 mm) (cf fig. 4).
4.2.4
Use inbus wrench and rotate the adjusting screw by half the value of the deviation
(in example case 0.04 mm). Y -axis is now adjusted.
4.2.5
Check again true running of X-axis. In case of a remaining error carry out
adjustment again as described.

Calibration of measurements
5.1
Clamp 3D-taster into machine spindle.
5.2
Approach measuring block at the first side until needle is in "Zero" position.
5.3
Set machine control in X-axis to "zero".
20 mm
5.4
Approach measuring block at the second side:
Enter TRA VEL = MEASURING BLOCK LENGTH (20 mm) into machine control.
5.5
Difference: Determine difference of needle position to "Zero" position.
20 mm
5.6
Adjust by "half the difference" using the adjustment screw.
5.7
Check calibration: Repeat steps 5.2 to 5.6.
