Reinshaw probe for has

[Jeff the haas_guy]

Does anyone use a reinshaw probe for haas? I need to probe a radius in the top of a part and not sure how.

Thanks

 

I know this is no much information but I emailed the print to myself in mastercam format and can't attach it to my question.

Jeff,   I am not sure if the Renishaw will probe a segment of a bore.  In our case we have to probe a full diameter.  There might be a way.  Maybe someone else can chime in.

 

Here is the program we use to probe a bore.  This program is set to measure a bore Ø1.2002.  You can adjust the D1.2002 to whatever bore size you are probing.  On our machine it stores the measurement in a Variable.  I think it is #185.  You will have to check the Renishaw programming manual to see if that is not it.  Normally you can scroll down through the variables and find it.

If  you pm me with your email I can send you a PDF copy of the Probe programming manual.

Actually it's not a bore in z axis. It's a radius in x direction. About .086 deep and 1.500 wide on the y axis. There is an equation

(R = 4b sq + c squared divided by 8b) where b = depth of radius and c = width of radius. The radius is 3.442 but we would like to check after machining. The machining is done in the x axis with a 2 1/2 d tool path from MC8.

I have the manual but am new to the probing.

What sort of accuracy are you wanting to get?  It sounds like you will need to use the vector probing cycles and I'm not sure the Haas probes will do that very well if you are looking for the utmost accuracy.  With the vector cycles you will most likely need to do the math yourself to calculate the radius.

Call your Renishaw guy; they are typically quite helpful in situations like this because they know everything that they have available for your machine

Does anyone know or use the MC probe software that can be used to probe by picking points? I have used vector points to check angles on the side of the part. I think the software will speed up the process of checking. Anyone know about it?

first off you gotta calibrate probe with 9804 not 9803 then you write

G65 P9823 D1. A0 B45. C90. This wil probe a 1.0 inch bore at 0,45,and 90. deg.

you can get probing manual H-2000-6222-00-A in a pdf file from renishaw
