The
customer uses a tool probe to measure tool offsets directly on the
machine.
Errors
in work offsets or mishandling during machining may lead to collisions with
tool probe.
The
customer expects non-working areas / protected areas to
be defined to prevent accidental damage to the tool probe.
Semi-skilled
operators should handle the machine without any interruption.
Non-working
areas are defined using NPROT and CPROT functions.
Machine
movement is automatically stopped when the tool enters a restricted boundary.
Axis
positions are continuously monitored, and an alarm is triggered to stop the
axis motion.
Three
non-working areas can be easily defined, considering tool
probe, spindle
dimensions, and
tool
length
Control
the process using M functions for enable and disable.
Operator
and process dependency has been eliminated.
Manual
monitoring during machining is significantly reduced.
There
is no tool probe breakage now, resulting in noticeable OPEX savings.
