It can often be a struggle getting a tool setter to calibrate correctly and we have a lot of customers contacting us for assistance with this.
Our tried and tested method is using a 10mm ground bar in a collet, setup in tool management as a turning tool and measure it.
If it reads +5mm or thereabouts the calibration is good, anything more than a few microns difference then it probably needs calibration.
The parameters that are stored on tool setter calibration are found in GUD 6 in CNC ISO area under Parameters > Settings (the top 4 parameters shown in the picture below).
Please contact Control CNC using the green button at the top of this page if you think we would be able to help with your machine, we cover the whole of the UK and Ireland. We can help you book a service, quote you for a repair or help you purchase the best quality parts for you business.
