Power ON/OFF Cycle of the Touch Probe

This subsection describes the power ON/OFF cycle of the touch probe.

The power ON cycle commands are indicated below.

(1) MP7 (made by Renishaw) CALL OO16

(2) MP9 (made by Renishaw) CALL OO16

(3) MP10 (made by Renishaw) CALL OO18 (PRS=*)

PRS:Specify the spindle index angle. If PRS is not specified, the spindle stops at the orientation position.

(4) RMP60 (Renishaw radio transmission system) CALL OO16 PSD=650

(5) The OMI-2T made by Renishaw or a touch probe made by Marposs CALL OO83

The power OFF cycle commands are indicated below.

(1) MP7 (made by Renishaw) CALL OO17

(2) MP9 (made by Renishaw)

Power is turned off in approximately 3 minutes after power OFF.

(3) MP10 (made by Renishaw) CALL OO19 (PRS=*)

PRS:Specify the spindle index angle. If PRS is not specified, the spindle stops at the orientation position.

(4) RMP60 (Renishaw radio transmission system) CALL OO17 PSD=650

(5) The OMI-2T made by Renishaw or a touch probe made by Marposs CALL OO84

4-1. Power ON/OFF Cycle Operation

4-1-1. Power ON Cycle Operation

• OO16 [PSD=*] (MP7/MP9/RMP60) Machine operation

a. At the present position, the spindle rotates at the speed specified with PSD. If no PSD com-mand is specified, the spindle rotates at 500 min^-1.

Note that nothing happens if the power is already ON.

b. After a dwell for 1.5 seconds, the NC stops the spindle. After another dwell for 3 seconds, the NC checks if the power is turned ON.

If the power is OFF, the NC waits until a dwell for 7 seconds ends and performs spindle rotation and stop again. If the power is still OFF, the NC generates the following alarm and stops the machine on the spot.

2305 ALARM-B UNTENDED: gauging impossible 42 c. This completes the power ON cycle.

• OO18 (MP10/OMP60/RMP60) Machine operation

a. The spindle stops at the specified index position or orientation position, then an M code (M127) is output internally.

Note that nothing happens if the power is already ON.

b. After a dwell for 1.5 seconds, the NC checks if the power is turned ON.

If the power is OFF, the NC waits for a dwell of 5 seconds and outputs the M code com-mand again for a dwell of 1.5 seconds. If the power is still OFF, the NC generates the fol-lowing alarm and stops the machine on the spot.

2305 ALARM-B UNTENDED: gauging impossible 42 c. This completes the power ON cycle.

• OO83 (The OMI-2T or a touch probe made by Marposs) Machine operation

a. The spindle stops at the specified index position or orientation position, then an M code (M127) is output internally.

Note that nothing happens if the power is already ON.

b. After a dwell for 5 seconds, the NC checks if the power is turned ON.

If the power is OFF, the NC waits for a dwell of 5 seconds and outputs the M code com-mand again for a dwell of 5 seconds. If the power is still OFF, the NC generates the follow-ing alarm and stops the machine on the spot.

2305 ALARM-B UNTENDED: gauging impossible 42 c. This completes the power ON cycle.

4-1-2. Power OFF Cycle Operation

• OO17 [PSD=*] (MP7/RMP60) Machine operation

a. At the present position, the spindle rotates at the speed specified with PSD. If no PSD com-mand is specified, the spindle rotates at 500 min^-1.

Note that nothing happens if the power is already OFF.

b. After a dwell for 1.5 seconds, the NC stops the spindle. After another dwell for 3 seconds, the NC checks if the power is turned OFF.

If the power is ON, the NC waits until a dwell for 7 seconds ends and performs spindle rota-tion and stop again. If the power is still ON, the NC generates the following alarm and stops the machine on the spot.

2305 ALARM-B UNTENDED: gauging impossible 43 c. This completes the power OFF cycle.

• OO19 (MP10/OMP60/RMP60) Machine operation

a. The spindle stops at the specified index position or orientation position, then an M code (M127) is output internally.

Note that nothing happens if the power is already OFF.

b. After a dwell for 1.5 seconds, the NC checks if the power is turned OFF.

If the power is ON, the NC waits for a dwell of 5 seconds and outputs the M code command again for a dwell of 1.5 seconds. If the power is still ON, the NC generates the following alarm and stops the machine on the spot.

2305 ALARM-B UNTENDED: gauging impossible 43 c. This completes the power OFF cycle.

• OO84 (The OMI-2T or a touch probe made by Marposs) Machine operation

a. The spindle stops at the specified index position or orientation position, then an M code (M367) is output internally.

Note that nothing happens if the power is already OFF.

b. After a dwell for 5 seconds, the NC checks if the power is turned OFF.

If the power is ON, the NC waits for a dwell of 5 seconds and outputs the M code command again for a dwell of 5 seconds. If the power is still ON, the NC generates the following alarm and stops the machine on the spot.

2305 ALARM-B UNTENDED: gauging impossible 43 c. This completes the power OFF cycle.

[Supplement]

When subprogram OO16 or OO17 is executed, the spindle speed command (S command) value is changed to the speed of PSD (or 500 min^-1 if no command is given.) Therefore, the required spindle speed must be specified to start the spindle after the execution of OO16 or OO17.

The value range for PSD command in OO16 and OO17 commands is same with that for spindle speed command. Specify the PSD command for the rotation speed that may not damage the touch probe.

5. Details

The foregoing subsections described the basic operating procedure for using the automatic gauging functions.
