(Note 1) G codes marked " ◤" are initial G codes when turning power
on.For G20 and G21, the G code before turning power off
remains. G00 or G01 can be selected by parameter setting.
(Note 2) G codes of group 00 are not modal. They are only effective in
the block in which they are specified.
(Note 3) If a G code not listed on the table of G codes is inputted, or
optional Gcode not specified in the system is commanded, an
alarm (No. 010) is displayed.
(Note 4) A number of G codes can be specified in the same block. When
more than one G code of the same group is specified, the G
code specified later is effective.
(Note 5) If any G code of group 01 is specified in a canned cycle mode,
the canned cycle is automatically cancelled and the G80
condition is entered. However a G code of group -1 is not
affected by any of the canned cycle G codes.
(Note 6) A G code is displayed from each group.
(Note 7) G code system B and C are options. Whether G code system B
or C is set by parameter No.0036 : GSPC.

About Renishaw software


It has been the policy of Renishaw to standardise software packages as far as possible.
However, changes have evolved due to enhanced features and control differences.
Where these differences are significant, they are described in the documentation.

Renishaw reserve the right to make changes to, and update, software packages without
prior notice.

All programming examples have been written for general guidance. The format will suit
most machines, but careful consideration should be given in case the format does not suit
your machine.

Prior to using this manual, the hardware installation should be complete and tested to
ensure that skip and other signal requirements are working correctly.

Renishaw macro program O9011 has no nested macros (one nesting level deep).

Renishaw macro program O9012 calls macro O9011 (two nesting levels deep).

1-2 Getting started

Why calibrate a measurement probe?


In Chapter 4 of this manual you will find details of the macros used to calibrate your
Renishaw probe. But why is it so important that your probe is calibrated?

As each Renishaw probe system is unique, it is important that you calibrate it in the
following circumstances:

● If it is the first time your probe system is to be used.

● If a new stylus is fitted to your probe.

● If it is suspected that the stylus has become distorted or that the probe has crashed.

● At regular intervals to compensate for mechanical changes of your machine tool.

● If repeatability of relocation of the probe in its operating position is poor. In this case,
the probe may need to be re-calibrated each time it is selected.

Two different operations are used to calibrate a probe. They are:

● Calibrating using the manual cycle – macro O9011

● Calibrating using the auto cycle – macro O9012. (This is an alternative cycle, which
automatically positions the tool to the stylus, and then calls macro O9011 to
complete the calibration.)

When the probe system is assembled and mounted on the machine, the alignment must
be set and position of the stylus found before the tool setting cycles can be used.

Stylus alignment
The faces of the cube stylus are accurately manufactured to be square and parallel to
each other, so aligning just one face will automatically align all faces. Adjust the stylus
face height so that the faces are central about the spindle centre line.

Check that the stylus faces are aligned with the machine axes. It can be useful to use a
tool mounted in the turret as a stylus triggering device. The machine coordinates at the
trigger point can be compared to a second trigger point further along the stylus face.
Usually alignment to within 0.010 mm (0.0004 in) is recommended, but this depends on
the application.

Stylus position
When calibrating for the first time, it is recommended that you use the manual cycle macro
O9011. Calibration must be made with a master tool of known dimensions. It is not
necessary to have any idea of the stylus face coordinates because the macro runs

Publication No. H-2000-6235


Getting started 1-3

incrementally from a start point and determines the calibration values based on the master
tool dimensions. It can sometimes be done using the turret faces, using zero (0) master
tool dimensions.

Software notes
Manual tool setting
The manual tool setting macro O9011 will suit users who want to position the tool close to
the stylus using jog mode before setting a tool. When using this method, it is not
necessary to load any approximate tool data in the tool offset registers prior to running a
cycle.

NOTE: All tool movements within the macro are restricted to the (Bb) box distance
(default 6 mm [0.236 in]) maximum movement, and the moves are fully protected in the
event of a collision.

Auto tool setting


The auto tool setting macro O9012 can be used to automatically position the tool to the
stylus as well as set the tool. It will be necessary to load nominal tool data in the tool offset
registers prior to running a cycle. If using the macro for calibration, it will also be
necessary to enter nominal calibration data.

2-2 Software installation

Control options
The following features are necessary to support the tool setting software.

● Fanuc G31 standard or high speed skip must be installed and operational.

● Fanuc user macro ‘B’ programming option must be available.

● Parameters must be set for feed rate by part program.

● Sufficient part program memory must be available to install this package together
with working part programs (see memory requirements in “Before you begin”).

Calling a cycle by G-code call


During installation it is possible to set machine parameters which will allow the macros to
be called by a shortened G-code method. Refer to your Fanuc Parameter Manual or the
Renishaw installation manual for further details on parameter setting.

Any spare two or three-digit number can be used, but the following are recommended:

G-code Macro number Description

G124 O9011 Semi manual tool setting

G125 O9012 Auto tool setting

Tool offset type setting


Macro variable #509 must be set:

#509 =0 Combined geometry and wear tool offset register.

#509 =1 Separate geometry and wear tool offset registers.

Calibration data
It is important that the base number is set to establish which variables are to be used by
the software. See “Base number setting” in this chapter if the default number shown below
is not suitable.

Publication No. H-2000-6235


Software installation 2-3

Standard calibration data – base number 522


Calibration data will be stored in the following macro variables using the default base
number (this is the pre-set value as supplied).

#522= X+ cube face


#523= X- cube face
#524= Z+ cube face
#525= Z- cube face
#530= X direction stylus size
#531= Z direction stylus size

Calibration data using spare tool offsets – base


number 2020
Calibration values will be stored in the following macro variables using the default base
number 2020 (offset T20 onwards).

T20 (#2020)= X+ cube face


T23 (#2023)= X- cube face
T24 (#2024)= Z+ cube face
T25 (#2025)= Z- cube face
T30 (#2030)= X direction stylus size
T31 (#2031)= Z direction stylus size

Base number setting


The software can be configured to use a different variable range for storing the calibration
data. This is done by changing a base number embedded in macros O9011 and O9012.

Edit macros O9011 and O9012 as follows:

#10 = 522 (EDIT FIRST MACRO STORE) .... Edit 522 to the required base number

Diameter/radial programming
The software can be configured for either diameter or radius programming.

Edit macros O9012 and O9012 as follows:

#17 = 2 (EDIT 2-DIA/1=RAD) ....Edit value as required

Publication No. H-2000-6235


2-4 Software installation

Adjusting the software back-off distance


The software will use the standard back off distance of 1 mm, which is adequate for most
installations.

If the cycle will not run when installed, examine the tool measuring movements when
triggering on the stylus. If the tool does not retract off the surface sufficiently after the first
touch to enable a reseat of the probe, the back off distance should be increased to suit.

Edit variable as follows in macro O9011:

#12 = 1.0 ....Change value to suit

For optimised operation, this value should be adjusted during installation to suit the
machine.

G94/G98 feed/minute mode


Software versions A-4012-0513.0E onwards have automatic feed per minute defection
and setting. The following notes only apply to earlier software versions.

Notes (pre A-4012-0153.0E versions)

The software as supplied does not include any G-codes controlling the feed rate mode.
Therefore the G98 or G94 mode must either be programmed before the cycle call (NOT
SHOWN IN THE EXAMPLES), or to simplify the programming format, this code may be
added at the top of macro O9011 and O9012 during installation if desired. However, the
feed/rev mode may need to be restarted for subsequent machining operations.

NOTE: If, when running a cycle, the machine axes do not move and no alarm is
generated, check that the relevant G-code for feed/minute has been selected.

Inputs
This is a description of all possible inputs used in the software for general guidance.
Specific inputs for each macro and application are described under the relevant macro
details.

NOTES: Use of the decimal point is recommended with all input data. However, on some
machines it may be possible to omit this.

Entering input data on the cycle call line will override any other default conditions.

Bb b= The box distance that the tool will move within, once moved to the start
position in front of the stylus.
Default = 6 mm (0.236 in)

Cc c= The cutter diameter offset. This may be used to set a cutter/drill to its
centreline position by touching the stylus on one edge.
Default = 0

NOTE: Cc can also be used during a calibration cycle and only with
vectors H5, H6, H7 and H8.

Hh h= The tool nose vector. This is used to select the correct tool path
movements and measuring direction for the type of tool.

NOTE: The tool nose vector will be taken from the tool offset page under
the ‘T’ address by default if Hh is not used.

Tt t= Tool offset number. This selects the tool offset number to be set. It
defaults to the current active tool offset number, or the tool number if the
offset is not active.

NOTES: The tool offset will be the active tool offset, or will default to the
tool station if the tool offset is not active by default or if Tt is not used.

The input is also used to define the tool offset where the master tool
dimensions are stored when calibrating the probe stylus.

K1. 1.= This is used to indicate a probe stylus calibration cycle. One or two
adjacent stylus faces will be set depending on the H input used.

Publication No. H-2000-6235


Inputs 3-3

K2. 2.= This is used to indicate a probe stylus calibration cycle. As for K1., but the
opposite stylus face will also be set. This method will allow all faces of the
stylus to be calibrated by touching on any two adjacent faces.
(Experience stylus dimensions for the stylus size must be entered in #530
and #531 before this feature can be used.)

When K2. is used, the opposite stylus faces may be found by calculation.

Example: X- stylus face = X+ stylus face - #530


Z- stylus face = Z+ stylus face - #531

Typical values for a 10 mm (0.3937 in) cube stylus:

#530 = 19.940 (0.7850 in) X diameter/radial width

#531 = 9.970 (0.3925 in) Z axis width

NOTE: When Kk is not used, tool setting is assumed. Do not mix K1. and K2. inputs on
the same call line.

Mm m= Broken tool checking tolerance


(M.2 indicates a +.2/-.2 tolerance).

Rr r= Approach position in front of stylus.


Default = 25 mm (0.984 in).

* Xx x= X axis tool offset result adjustment amount.


Default = 0.

*Zz z= Z axis tool offset result adjustment amount.


Default = 0.

NOTE: * These values can be used to make small compensations to the setting results.
In applications where the nominal tool lengths are allowed for by the machining program,
zero nominal values must be set in the tool registers. This is achieved by entering the tool
geometry amounts in the Xx and Zz values.

4-2 Calibration

Manual calibration (macro O9011)

Introduction

Calibration is achieved using macro O9011 directly as described here, or indirectly by


using the auto cycle O9012, which will also automatically position the master tool to the
stylus for you.

If using the auto cycle macro O9012, approximate calibration data MUST be entered in
the calibration data variables before calibrating, but otherwise the input information is
similar (see Chapter 6, “Auto tool setting” for details on macro O9012).

Description

The master tool must be selected in MDI mode and positioned in either jog or handwheel
mode to a suitable start position. The cycle will move the master tool from the start
position to the stylus face(s) as specified by the tool nose vector Hh and then retract back
to the start position. Calibration values are found for the stylus.

Application

(a) The probe stylus faces must be set parallel to the axes.

(b) The master tool offset data must be entered in the tool offset register page before
running the calibration.

(c) The master tool and offset number should be selected using MDI mode, so that the
screen information about the current tool is updated.

(d) Prepare a simple program to call the cycle using either the G124 or G65P9011
command and enter the K1. or K2. Input to indicate that a calibration cycle is
required. Enter other optional inputs (see Inputs).

(e) Position the tool at a suitable start point in jog or handwheel mode within the Bb box
distance.

5-2 Manual tool setting

Manual tool setting (macro O9011)

NOTE: The procedure for tool setting is the same as for calibration, except that you do
NOT enter a Kk input.

Description

The tool must be selected in MDI mode and positioned in either jog or handwheel mode to
a suitable start position. The cycle will move the master tool from a start position to the
stylus faces as specified by the tool nose vector Hh and retract back to the start position.
The tool offset values will be found and stored in the tool offset registers.

Application

(a) The tool probe stylus must be calibrated before setting tools.

(b) It is NOT necessary to enter approximate tool offset values, unless using the auto
tool setting macro O9012.

(c) The tool and offset should be selected using MDI mode, so that the screen
information about the current tool is updated.

(d) Enter the optional inputs as listed below in “Inputs”. Alternatively, the cycle can be
run without any inputs, provided the tool/offset is selected in MDI mode, and the tool
nose vector number is entered on the tool offset page under the ‘T’ address.

NOTE: Entering input data on the cycle call line will override any other default
conditions.

(e) Position the tool at a suitable start point in either jog or handwheel mode within the
Bb box distance (see the tool nose vector Hh and Bb input description in Chapter 3,
“Inputs”).

(f) Run the G124 cycle.

Clearing an error
When operator messages are generated, the cycle Start button can be pressed to
continue the program.

When macro alarm messages are generated, the Reset button must be pressed to clear
the error. This may cause the tool offset vector to be cancelled (dependent on parameter
setting). The resultant X, Z axis move following this condition would be dangerous should
the operator decide to continue the program. Normal safe restart working practices must
prevail, but as a precaution it is recommended that the parameter should be set to retain
the tool offset vector (see recommended setting parameters).

CHANGING THE STYLUS PROTECTION SYSTEM AND
ADJUSTING THE STYLUS ON RENISHAW TOOL SETTERS

The Renishaw tool setter incorporates a system that protects the stylus from deformation and
sensor damage by collapsing the system if overload or impact is applied to the stylus due to
interference between the stylus and a tool.

Changing the Stylus Protection System:


Install tool setter arm on the machine according to drawing.

After changing the stylus protection system, the stylus must be adjusted in both the direction
of rotation and height (see drawings on page 2).
Height adjustment:
1. Loosen the socket set screw on the stylus.
2. Mount a standard OD cutting tool onto turret.
3. Move the tool tip to the positive direction contact face of the stylus in the Z-axis direction
and stop immediately before contact.
4. Move the stylus up and down so that the tool tip is at the center of the contact face of the
stylus.
5. Tighten the socket screw.
1. Adjust probe head to appropriate height.

A line to the bottom

Approximately adjust probe head parallelism to under 0.2mm


Tool setter arm (stylus height fine adjustment) angel adjustment:
Fit one OD tool onto turret, and move the tool tip close to the probe head
(Not in contact)
According to the drawing below:
1. Remove (4) seal and loosen screw.
2. Adjust tool setter arm until center of probe head is lined up with tool tip.
3. Tighten screw.
4. Refit seal.
Angular adjustment: [SEE DRAWINGS ON PAGE 5]

1. Fix a dial indicator on the turret by using a magnet stand.

2. Apply the dial indicator stem to the side face of the stylus from the positive direction of the
x-axis.

3. Move the turret in the Z-axis direction with the handle feed operation to check if the stylus
is set parallel to the Z-axis. (The allowable maximum inclination is .003mm over the entire
length of the stylus face.)

4. If the stylus is not accurately set in parallel to the Z-axis, turn the stylus so that it is in
parallel to the Z-axis.
a. Loosen the stylus socket set screw.
b. Turn the stylus to adjust the parallelism to the Z-axis.
c. Tighten the socket set screw.
d. Tighten and loosen the 2 fine adjustment socket set screws on the base alternately to
make fine adjustments. (The allowable maximum inclination is .003mm over the entire
length of the stylus face.)

5. After the completion of adjustments, finally tighten the fine adjustment socket set screws.
SETTING TOOL SETTER PARAMETERS

The parameters and settings used to set the Renishaw tool setter.
The tool setter has four directions, which are: XP, XM, ZP, and ZM.

Probe

In FANUC 18T:
XP =PARAM 5015 (OT-C: PARAM 743)
(The distance starting from the lower side face of the stylus to the spindle center)

XM=PARAM 5016 (OT-C: PARAM 744)


(The distance starting from the topside face of the stylus to the spindle center)

ZP =PARAM 5017 (OT-C: PARAM 745)


(The distance from the left side face of the stylus to the machine’s reference point)

ZM=PARAM 5018 (OT-C: PARAM 746)


(The distance from the right side face of the stylus to the machine’s reference point)

Measuring method:

A. When using the Renishaw tool setter, use JOG mode to move the tool tip to and
away from the tool setter stylus.
B. The same feed rate should be used when touching the tool tips to the stylus
(79mm/min is recommended). Using different feed rates will affect accuracy.
1. Clamp a suitable work piece onto the chuck. (Approx. 80mm OD X 30mm ID)

2. Fit an OD finishing tool on turret.

3. Start up spindle to suitable speed. (Approx. 800rpm)

4. Using JOG mode, select 79mm/min feed rate and remove approx. 0.2mm material from
the surface of work piece. When the tool is in position to perform the cut, reset U value to 0.
(U origin)

5. After the cut, move the tool to an area with no interference to the tool setter arm and move
to the U 0. position.

6. Use a micrometer to measure work piece OD. Example: 79.535mm.

7. Move X axis down from U 0. to U –79.535, then reset U to 0. again. (U origin)

8. Install the tool setter arm.

9. Move tool tip (use Handle X 100 mode) to approx. 2mm from topside face of the stylus.

10. Select JOG mode, and set feed rate to 79mm/min; move tool tip till it touches the stylus.
After touching the stylus, the LED light will turn red and the tool tip will stop automatically.

11. Record the current U value, then move tool away from tool setter by JOG. Input the
recorded value into parameter P5016. (Input value without decimal)

12. Use a 1” square tool and place it facing the opposite of the normal direction. (Use the
back surface of the tool as an extension of the turret face)

13. Use steps in 9 and 10 to touch the right side face of the stylus. Record the current Z-axis
machine value, and move tool surface away from the stylus by using JOG mode. Input the
recorded Z-axis value into parameter P5018.

14. After inputting parameters P5016 and P5018, reference both X and Z axes to their
reference points. Then follow steps 9 and 10 to touch the topside face (TLM X-) and right
side face (TLM Z-). Move tool away from the stylus by JOG mode. (Warning: Before
removing tool setter arm, do not touch stylus with hand or tool after completing
above procedure. If stylus is moved in any way, the input position may be changed
and may result in crash of machine.)

15. After completing tool off-set, turn the spindle at suitable RPM and use HANDLE X 100
mode to move tool tip close to right end face of work piece. Use HANDLE X 10 mode to
slowly contact the tool tip to the right end face of the work piece, and then stop tool
movement just after contact. Turn WORK SHIFT switch ON, then press WORK SHIFT
button. The Z-axis offset value will automatically be inputted, turn WORK SHIFT switch
OFF.

16. Write a program to test correct functioning and tool offset of the tool setter:
Assume work piece dimension is 80mm in diameter and 30mm in cutting length.
Using tool station # 2 and cutting at 0.1mm per pass.

Program:(Metric)
T202;

M30;
%
17. Use step 16 to cut work piece.
18. After cutting work piece measure OD to determine if result is according to the program
value.
If not, modify parameters according to the following rules:
[If Cutting result > Programmed value, add difference in value to P5016]
[If Cutting result < Programmed value, subtract difference in value to P5016]
Repeat steps 14, 17, and 18 until cutting result is the same as the programmed value.

19. Measuring value of P5015 (TLM X+):


Mount a standard ID tool onto turret suitable for the work piece. Use suitable RPM on the
spindle, and follow steps 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
20. Move tool tip to approx. 2mm away from lower side face of stylus by using HANDLE X
100 mode.

21. Select JOG mode, and set feed rate to 79mm/min. Move tool tip to contact lower side
face of stylus, the LED light will turn red and tool movement will stop automatically.
Record the current U value and move tool tip away from stylus by JOG mode. Input the
recorded U value into parameter P 5015.

22. After inputting parameter P5015, reference X-axis to reference point, and touch the lower
side face and right side face of the stylus again using JOG mode. Tool offset will
automatically be inputted. Move tool away from tool setter and remove tool setter arm.

23. Write a program to test correct functioning and tool offset of the tool setter:
Assume work piece dimension has an ID of 30mm in diameter and 20mm in cutting length.
Using tool station # 5 and cutting at 0.1mm per pass.

Program: (Metric)

%

24. Cut work piece according to step 23.

25. After cutting work piece measure ID to determine if result is according to the program
value.
If not, modify parameters according to the following rules:
[If Cutting result > Programmed value, add difference in value to P5015]
[If Cutting result < Programmed value, subtract difference in value to P5015]
Repeat steps 22, 24, and 25 until cutting result is the same as the programmed value.
