Hi folks.
My apologies if this seems like a meager question here but I am having a small issue with calibrating the OTS on a VF3SSYT with a classic controller here that I just cannot figure out. We moved the probe and optical sensor from the upper right to the upper left of the table/cab and started calibration procedures.
Manuals state to change the macro variable under the Current Commands tab to -2.0, which we do. Enter the required data into WIPS tab and run the cycle. Cycles the three z axis measurements but then moves off to the left of the stylus instead of the right, forcing a 316 x over travel error. We back out to the CC menu and the machine reset the variable back to the previous "1" number setting.
Am I doing something wrong here? I am not a complete new guy to these machines, and have used the WIPS many times before, just have never had to move the OTS position on the table before(doing so because of future 4th axis rotary, old position was obscured)
Anyway I reached out to our local Hass service with a detailed email and got an email reply back stating to "start cycle over probe center" and/or move OTS further into work envelope. Well no %^"£$%, and that kind of defeats the purpose of variable 592... lol
Great site here, hope to learn a thing or two about my stupidity on this issue hah! Don't hesitate to tell me if I'm a moron and just ding something very wrong, I can take it.
Thanks guys
