Probing And ATC Expansion screens for LNC 5800 and 6800 Controllers

Description

Probing screenset

Basic mode provides “point and shoot” WCS probing for the following operations:

• Center of hole
• Circular boss
• External and Internal corners
• Slot center
• Square boss
• X, Y and Z axis

The setup screen also contains buttons to trigger the probe rad and length cal routines.

Custom Z averaging screen allows probing of 2 to 5 points across a surface to generate an average z value

In process mode allows you to setup a probing routine, then use the displayed M code to trigger it during a machine cycle.

Advanced mode works more in line with how the probing works OEM. Requiring you first probe the Z and can then run further operations with respect to that height with an allowed offset.

ATC Screenset

Mass loading/unloading and probing of up to an entire carousel at once

Probe Facemill button allows you to apply either X Y or X&Y offset to the probing routine to allow probing of a Facemill without needing to move the ATC position on the ATM screen

Approximate tool length function allows tool probing 3x faster than OEM

Slow mode reduces the touch off speed by 3x, perfect for probing in very small tools or your WCS probe.

Tool call button will summon the selected tool into the spindle. Faster than having to MDI M06

In setup menu there is a one click button to set the TTC X&Y position to wherever the machine is currently positioned. E.g. JOG your tool over the TTC and click it. No more fumbling with coordinates in the ATM screen.

Tool radius and length table also included in this screen for convenience.
