Step 6 - Take the Third Manual Hit

For the SP600 Probe Changer, you will take the third and final manual hit in the XY plane, on the vertical face in front of the rack between port 3 and port 4.

The prompt for the third hit in front is:

PC-DMIS Message

Please take a hit in the center of the vertical face between ports 3 and 4. After completing this hit, DCC calibration will begin.

Use your machine's jog box to measure the third hit in front on the vertical surface between port 3 and port 4.

WARNING: When you do this, the machine moves. To avoid injury, stay clear of the machine. To avoid hardware damage, run the machine at a slower speed.

This set of two hits establishes the location and orientation for the tool changer.

At this point, the system goes into DCC mode and measures a series of hits required to accurately locate and orient the rack.

In the next step, you review the calibration results.
