Anybody know where I can learn more about programming Reinshaw probes? I know a little about programming them just want more.
 
Quick question to get things going.

S1 writes to G54
S101 writes to G54.1 P1
S155 writes to G54.1 P55
S1550 writes to G54.1 P550
S201 writes to G54.2 P1


Am I understanding this part correctly?
 
Don't know about the last 2, but the first 3 are correct...

Ss s = The work offset number that will be set.
S1 to S6 (G54 to G59).
S0 (external work offset).
S101 to S148 (G54.1 P1 to G54.1 P48) additional offsets option.
New work offset = active work offset + error.
New external offset = external offset + error.
Example: S3.

Don't forget the . after the S value.

Best way to learn the software is to grab a copy of the inspection plus manual and read it. IT forms the foundation for every cycle. Once you have a handle on that, grab the easyset manual so you don't need a work offset to make a measurement. The manuals are available from the renishaw website I believe. If not you can ask them and they will send you the documents.
 
I pulled up a program today know nothing about it when it called up the probe the green light came on now what do I do.I was on a Okuma mill with a 700 controller.

NAT20 (.2360" DIA. LED PROBE)
N2000 M6 T20
N2001 G15 H09
N2002 G56 H20
N2003 M127
N2004 G00 X.5 Y0
N2005 Z-.25
N2006 CALL OO10 PMOD=1 PEI=0.0
N2007 CALL OO20 PHN=VACOD PX=0
N2008 G00 Z20.
N2009 X-10. Y20.
N0015 M01


 
First thing you should do is see if the probe is really working;

You can test probe in MDI

enter G91 G31 X5. F1.;

On cycle start , probe should start moving in X. Trigger probe and movement should stop if probe is working.

If it is you need to figure out how to calibrate the probe and learn how to run the probing macros.

Thanks, I just got the inspection plus manual. I am guessing I have the kinematics probe and not the strain gage probe.
