The software you have purchased is used to control the movements of a machine tool. It
has been designed to cause the machine to operate in a specified manner under operator
control, and has been configured for a particular combination of machine tool hardware
and controller. Renishaw have no control over the exact program configuration of the
controller, with which the software is to be used, nor of the mechanical layout of the
machine. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the person placing the software into
operation to:
ensure that all machine safety guards are in position and are correctly working
before commencement of operation;
ensure that any manual overrides are disabled before commencement of

operation;
verify that the program steps invoked by this software are compatible with the
controller for which they are intended;
ensure that any moves, which the machine will be instructed to make under
program control, would not cause the machine to inflict damage upon itself or
upon any machine in the vicinity;
be thoroughly familiar with the machine tool and its controller, and to know the
location of all emergency stop switches.

1.2 Desirable Control Options

Machining 1. Extra Memory
Centre 2. Extra tool offsets for error storage
3 Workshift option enables the offset of the Lathe
whole program rather than individual tools
1.2.1 General
Where combined inspection and toolsetting packages are required, a
spare M code can be used for switching purposes. This is not fitted in the
software.
Ensure that the correct hardware has been supplied and is compatible
with your requirements.
It is assumed that the installation will be installed by a competent person

who is familiar with both the machine tool and Renishaw equipment.
1.2.2 Wiring Connections

Details provided in Chapter 3 Fanuc Connection Diagrams show the
necessary connections that are required. Useful information is also
provided in Chapter 4 Fanuc Diagnostic and Location Chart and High
Speed Skip.
The termination of all relevant connections must, however, be clearly

established by liaison with the machine tool builder, and the wiring and
connection diagrams supplied with the machine.
Check with the machine tool builder whether the P.M.C. ladder work is
complete for skip and I/O. The ladder can be displayed on some controls
and the connections can be checked.
Ensure that input addresses are not being used for other purposes.
14 Manual No. H-2000-6040

1.2.3 Cable Routing

Cable routing is important. Cables should be installed to avoid high
current sources such as 3-phase transformers or axis drive motors.
Signal interference can occur as a result of bad cable routing.
1.2.4 Hardware Installation

The siting of equipment and all necessary installation adjustments to the
hardware is to be found in the documentation supplied with the hardware.
1.2.5 Machine Parameters

The parameters settings must be set as described in Chapter 5 Fanuc
Machine Parameters.
1.3 Installing the Tool Setting Software

for Machining Centres
This section describes how you load and customise the Tool Setting
software. The software is supplied with standard settings, but these may
be adjusted to suit specific machines during installation.
The information in this section supplements the information contained in

the manual Tool Setting for Machining Centres Programming Manual
Manual No. H-2000-6040 15

1.3.1 Checks and Adjustments

The checks and adjustments described below do not apply to machines
that are fitted with Haas controllers. If your machine is fitted with a Haas
controller, you should refer to the manual Tool Setting for Machining
Centres Programming Manual (Renishaw Part No. H-2000-6082) for
information applicable to this type of controller.
Check that the probe system is functional and that the stylus faces
have been set parallel to the axes. You should find this described in
the appropriate Probe Installation Manual.
Set the software variable base number in macro O9799. You will
find a description of how to edit the base number setting in the
manual Tool Setting for Machining Centres Programming Manual
Set the macro variables to suit your machine. You will find a
description of how to do this in in the manual Tool Setting for
Machining Centres Programming Manual (Renishaw Part No.
H-2000-6082).
Check for an active tool offset. You will find a description of how to
do this in section 1.3.2 Active Offset Software Adjustments .
Configure the tool select macro if you intend using macro O9853.
You will find a description of how to modify the tool select macro in
the manual Tool Setting for Machining Centres Programming
Manual (Renishaw Part No. H-2000-6082).
Calibrate the probe fully using macros O9851 and O9852. You will
find a description of how to calibrate your probe in the manual Tool
Setting for Machining Centres Programming Manual (Renishaw
Part No. H-2000-6082).
Set a tool using the manual-jog macro cycles O9851 and O9852 to
establish tool geometry values. You will find this described in the
manual Tool Setting for Machining Centres Programming Manual
(Part No. H-2000-6082).
16 Manual No. H-2000-6040

Adjust the back-off distance #506 using macro cycle O9851. You
will find this described later in section 1.3.4 Adjusting Back-Off
Distance #506.
Finally test the Auto-Setting cycle O9853 using the same tool.
1.3.2 Active Offset Software Adjustments

Carry out the following test during installation of the software to check for
safe probe cycle operations.
Perform this test away from the probe and any other obstruction.
1. Enter value(s) into an active tool offset register, e.g. offset number
1.
Example: 25mm (1.0in) in the geometry offset.

5mm (0.2in) in the wear offset (if applicable).
2. Run the safe operation test as shown below.
%
O0001(REN SAFE OPERATION TEST)
G65P9851K1. (Any small value in K is suitable the
default value is 1mm [0.04in])
M30
%
The Z or spindle axis should move down towards the stylus a total
distance of 14mm (0.56in), i.e. by the software default amount.
3. If the distance travelled includes the tool offset amount(s) corrective

action is required (see section 1.3.3 Software Adjustment later in
this chapter).
Manual No. H-2000-6040 17

Repeating the Test

Repeat the test described in steps 1 to 3 above for all possible error
causing conditions.
Typical test conditions include:
Immediately after a power up situation.
Immediately after a previous program has finished.
Pressing the reset button before this test.
Trying a program G28G91Z0 return before the test.
Trying a manual return sequence before the test.
Trying any other typical preferred ways of working on your machine.
The purpose is to give confidence that the software is safe to use for all
normal operating conditions. Any error-causing conditions can either be
corrected at this stage, or at least you will be aware of any sequence to
avoid.
18 Manual No. H-2000-6040

1.3.3 Software Adjustment

Mazak/Meldas Controls
The software is supplied as standard to read any active tool offset
amount(s) by reading the last active H word (this assumes the last H offset
is still active). This is done because there is no system variable to read
directly the active tool offset amount.
Fanuc/Yasnac/Haas Controls
The software is supplied as standard to read the active tool offset amount
using variable #5083.
This method normally works on all Fanuc controls (not Mazak/Meldas).

However, due to the machine builder parameter settings this may also
give problems, particularly if the geometry or wear offset is not included in
the active offset amount.
In case of difficulty, this can be changed to the Mazak/Meldas method by

deleting or commenting out the following line at the end of macro O9799.
N110
#149=#5083 Delete or comment out this line (#149=#5083)
#31=#0
M30
If this change does not resolve the problem(s), it may be necessary to be

aware of the error causing condition(s), and work around them.
Manual No. H-2000-6040 19

G91G28 Return Problems

If the G28G91Z0 return causes a problem, this can usually be avoided by
using a G53G90Z0 return (see the manual Tool Setting for Machining
Centres Programming Manual [Renishaw Part No. H-2000-6082]).
1.3.4 Adjusting Back-off Distance #506

The static or non-rotating length setting uses the standard Renishaw two-
touch method of measurement.
A back-off distance factor #506 is provided for adjusting the move

distance off the surface prior to the final measuring move.
The software loads a default value of 0.5 when first run. This stored value
in #506 should be optimised for minimum cycle time.
Adjust the back-off distance factor #506 as follows:
Repeat the static length setting cycle O9851, reducing the #506 value
each time until the tool just clears the stylus surface prior to the second
touch.
NOTE: When the value is too small, a Probe Open alarm results.

1.4 Installing the Inspection Plus

Software
This section describes how you load and customise the Inspection Plus
software. It supplements the information described in the manual
Inspection Plus Software Programming Manual (Renishaw Part No.
H-2000-6031).
1.4.1 Installing the Software

It is important that the software is installed to suit the type of controller and
options available. Do this as described below:
1. First, refer to the manual Inspection Plus Software Programming

Manual (Renishaw Part No. H-2000-6031) to determine whether the
Inspection Plus software is suitable for your needs.
2. Decide which cycles you require before proceeding. These are covered
in the preliminary part of the manual Inspection Plus Software
Programming Manual (Renishaw Part No. H-2000-6031).
3. Load the basic cycles on file 40120519.
(1) Delete any unwanted O98-- series cycles.
(2) If the vector cycles are to be used, delete the following macro:
O9803 (macro O9804 is used instead)
Otherwise delete the following macros:
O9727 O9731 O9804 (these macros are used only for

vector cycles)
(3) If the print option is not to be used, delete the following macro:
O9730
Manual No. H-2000-6040 111

4. Establish which of the Option 1 file 40120520 cycles you require.

Load the Option 1 file if required. Delete all unwanted macros from
the control before loading further macros.
5. Establish which of the Option 2 file 40120521 cycles you require.

Load the Option 2 file if required. Delete all unwanted macros from
the control.
1.4.2 Establishing #506 Back-off Distance

Run the Optimisation macro to establish the #506 back-off distance and
#119 fast feedrate.
Refer to the manual Inspection Plus Software Programming Manual

(Renishaw Part No. H-2000-6031) for a description on the use of macro
variables and Optimisation macro O9836.
For small and medium size machines, i.e. machines having less than
1000mm (40in) of axis travel, the standard feedrates as supplied are
normally acceptable. This macro may be deleted by the operator after
optimisation is completed.
1.4.3 Settings Macro O9724

If the default values are not suitable, you will need to change the Settings
macro O9724. Refer to the manual Inspection Plus Software
Programming Manual (Renishaw Part No. H-2000-6031) for a description
of macro O9724.
Set the following Settings macro options:
Work offset type
Tolerance alarms or flag only (FMS type application)
Tool offset type
The examples in this section are for general guidance only. Please note
that the exact programming format may not suit either your machine set or
recommended method as specified by your machine builder.
112 Manual No. H-2000-6040

1.5 Testing the Installation

When the power is switched on, the interface should be operational and
respond to the probe conditions. All signal conditions and status of the
LEDs on the front panel are described in the Probe and Interface Users
Guide supplied with the equipment. At this stage, it is advisable to check
the machine diagnostics to establish whether the signals are being
received by the machine.
When checking the machine diagnostics, take note of the following points:
1. Fanuc Logic
0 (0) is the low state (0V)
1 (1) is the high state (+24V or +5V) dependent on whether
normal or high speed skip is used.
2. When the skip signal is already high, the machine does not move
under the G31 skip command. This is not applicable to Yasnac
controls and the Meldas M310 control.
3. The machine normally responds to a rising edge signal (0V to +V)

under the G31 skip command. This can be modified on some
controls see section 5.9 titled Parameters Related to Multi-
Channel Skip 10-11-12-15 M/T in Chapter 5 Fanuc Machine
Parameters.
4. When the Renishaw interface is in an error state, e.g. due to

transmission failure, the status relay output is forced high even if the
probe stylus is not deflected.
5. The Renishaw skip relay (when used) is a pulsed output which

responds to every probe change of state (seated/deflected). The
Fanuc diagnostic changes 0-1-0, but when checking this on the
diagnostic screen, the change of state may not be seen each time
due to the response time of the screen.
The final checks on the system are described in Chapter 6 Fanuc

Software Installation.
Manual No. H-2000-6040 113

1.6 Input Voltage and Supply

It is important on all controls that the voltage used to drive the probing
input is taken from the correct source. In most cases this is decided by the
machine tool builder (for Fanuc High Speed Skip information, see the end
of this section).
Figures 1.1 and 1.2 show typical power supply connection arrangements.
The machine tool builders wiring manuals should be used to check which
power supply is used for the probe input. This power supply usually
supplies all the other inputs and will be stabilised.
On systems with I/O boxes, the inputs may be either 100 120Va.c. or
0V/24Vd.c.

Calibrating the Probe
Chapter 2
Before you start to use your Renishaw software, take time to read this
chapter. It will provide you with a basic understanding of the importance of
accurately calibrating the probe you intend to use for either tool setting or
measuring. Only when the probe is accurately calibrated can you achieve
total quality control over your manufacturing process. This chapter also
provides you with some guidance regarding the most suitable operating
conditions for your probe.

2.1 Calibrating a Tool Setting Probe

2.1.1 Why Calibrate Your Tool Setting Probe?
In the manual Tool Setting for Machining Centres Programming Manual
(Renishaw Part No. H-2000-6082) you will find details of how to calibrate
your Renishaw tool setting probe. But why is it so important that your
probe is calibrated?
When your probe is assembled and mounted on the machine table, it is

necessary to align the stylus faces with the machine axes to avoid probing
errors when setting tools. It is worth taking care with this operation you
should try to get the faces aligned to within 0.010mm (0.0004in) for normal
use. This is achieved by manually adjusting the stylus with the adjusting
screws provided, and using a suitable instrument such as a DTI clock
mounted in the machine spindle.
When the probe has been correctly set up on the machine, it is time to
calibrate the probe. Calibration cycles are provided for this task. The
purpose is to establish the probe stylus measuring face trigger point
values under normal measuring conditions. The calibration values are
stored in macro variables for computation of the tool size during tool
setting cycles.
Values obtained are axis trigger positions (in machine co-ordinates). Any
errors due to machine and probe triggering characteristics are
automatically calibrated out in this way. These values are the electronic
trigger positions under dynamic operating conditions, and not necessarily
the true physical stylus face positions.
Manual No. H-2000-6040 23

NOTE: Poor repeatability of probe trigger point values indicates that

either the probe/stylus assembly is loose or a machine/probe
fault exists. Further investigation is required.
As each Renishaw tool setting probe system is unique, it is imperative 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.
2.1.2 Notes on Tool Speed and Feed Rates

CAUTION: Setting tools by rotating against the stylus is suitable for
most tools. However, this operation for some tools, such
as carbide tipped and delicate cutting teeth, may suffer
from cutting edge deterioration as a result of contact with
the stylus under these conditions.
The following parameters for operating conditions have been found by

experience to suit Renishaw tool setting probes. Improvement and
optimisation may be possible for specific applications.
The table mounted probe is suitable for setting tool lengths non-rotating.
Cycles are also provided with the capability to set rotating tools for length
and radius.
24 Manual No. H-2000-6040

First Touch Spindle RPM

RPM for the first move onto the probe is calculated from a surface cutting
speed of 60.0 metres/min (197.0 ft/min). This is maintained within the
range 150 rpm to 800 rpm and relates to a range of 24.0mm to 127.0mm
(0.95 to 5.0in) diameter cutters. The surface cutting speed is not
maintained outside this range.
First Touch Feed Rate

The feed rate is calculated as follows:
F= .16 x rpm F units mm/min (diameter set).

F= .12 x rpm F units mm/min (length set).
Second Touch Spindle RPM

800 rpm.
Second Touch Feed Rate

4.0mm/min feed rate (0.12in/min) resolution 0.005mm/rev (0.00020in/rev).
2.1.3 Tool Offset Methods

The Tool Setting software runs with the following tool offset methods:
1. Positive type tool offsets (gauge line to tool tip).
2. Master type tool offsets (master tool has 0 (zero) length offset, all
other tools are referenced to it).
NOTE: It is not possible to run this software with air gap type tool
offsets.
Manual No. H-2000-6040 25

Air gap description:
Negative tool lengths

The spindle axis move distance necessary to reach the reference
surface with the tool point.
This method requires recalibration at each job set up. The master
tool air gap length also changes for each job set up.
2.2 Calibrating a Measuring Probe

2.2.1 Why Calibrate your Measuring Probe?
In the manual Inspection Plus Software Programming Manual (Renishaw
Part No. H-2000-6031) you will find a description of how to calibrate your
Renishaw measuring probe. But why is it so important that your probe is
calibrated?
When you assemble your Renishaw probe into its machine shank/holder,
it is not necessary for the probe stylus to run true to the spindle centre
line. A small amount of run-out can be tolerated, but it is good practice to
get the stylus mechanically on-centre to reduce the effects of spindle and
tool orientation errors. Without calibration of the probe the run-out will lead
to inaccurate results. By calibrating your probe, the run-out is
automatically accounted for. The Calibration in a Bored Hole cycle
(Macro O9802) provides the data to allow for this run-out.
As each Renishaw probe system is unique, it is imperative 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.
26 Manual No. H-2000-6040

At regular intervals to compensate for mechanical changes of your

machine tool.
If repeatability of relocation of the probe shank is poor. In this case,

the probe may need to be recalibrated each time it is selected.
Three different operations are used to calibrate a probe. They are:
Calibrating in a bored hole;
Calibrating in a ring gauge; and
Calibrating the probe length.
2.2.2 Calibrating in a Bored Hole

Calibrating your probe in a bored hole automatically stores values for the
offset of the stylus ball to the spindle centre line. The stored values are
then automatically used in the measuring cycles. They compensate the
measured values so that they are relative to the true spindle centre line.
2.2.3 Calibrating in a Ring Gauge

Calibrating your probe in a ring gauge of a known diameter automatically
stores one or more values for the radius of the stylus ball. The stored
values are then automatically used by the measuring cycles to give the
true size of the feature. The values are also used to give true positions of
single surface features.
NOTE: The stored radii values are based on the true electronic
trigger points. These values are different from the physical
sizes.
Manual No. H-2000-6040 27

2.2.4 Calibrating the Probe Length

Probe length calibration on a known reference surface stores the length
based on the electronic trigger point. This is different from the physical
length of the probe assembly. Additionally, this operation can
automatically compensate for machine and fixture height errors by
adjusting the probe length value that is stored.
2.2.5 Calibration Cycles

There are four calibration cycles provided with the Inspection Plus
software. These may be used in conjunction with one another for complete
calibration of the probe. The four macros are summarised below. For
further details, you should refer to the manual Inspection Plus Software
Programming Manual (Renishaw Part No. H-2000-6031).
Macro O9801 This is used to establish the probe length in its tool
shank.
Macro O9802 This is used to establish the stylus off-centre values.
Macro O9803 This is used to establish the stylus ball radius values. It
is suitable for all measuring cycles except O9821,
O9822 and O9823.
Macro O9804 This is used to establish the vector stylus ball radius
values. It is suitable for all measuring cycles, including
O9821, O9822 and O9823.
For complete calibration of a probe system, you must use macros O9801,
O9802, and either O9803 or O9804.
The Renishaw calibration cycles are split into separate cycles for flexibility.
If, however, the calibration feature is accurately known for both size and
position, e.g. a ring gauge where the size is known, and the position is
accurately found using a Dial Test Indicator, it is then possible for you to
write a program which completes the full calibration procedure in one
operation by calling all of the above macros.

Appendix
Using Multi-Channel Skip Option G31.1

G31.2 G31.3 or G31.4.
Inspection Probe
Effective isolation of signal can be achieved by using this option. It is
recommended that the inspection probe be installed using G31 (G31.1)
skip.
Tool Setting Probe

The tool setting probe should be installed using G31.2 G31.3 or G31.4
skip.
This will require changes to the tool setting software.
Edit all G31 command lines to G31. as required.
See the diagnostic and location section for relevant information. The
software macro list will be found in the tool setting section of the
programming manual for Machining Centres.

Appendix
High Speed Skip
It should be noted that all connection diagrams shown in this section refer
to use of standard skip using 24V logic (0V common or 24V common).
When using High Speed Skip the connection diagrams are still relevant,
but reference to 0V N/C and 24V N/C supplying Fanuc skip should be
ignored. The relevant supply will be provided on the High Speed Skip
connector (see Chapter 4 Fanuc Diagnostic and Location Chart and
High Speed Skip).
When multi channel skip is required to drive tool setting and inspection
probing, the software programs can be edited to suit whichever channels
are to be used.
Both tool setting and inspection software programs use the G31 skip
function code.
Renishaw recommend that any necessary alteration should be made to

the tool setting software. This will make editing easier.
When G31 occurs in the toolsetting software, this may be edited in the
normal way (make sure program protection is set to allow for editing) to
any of the desired channels (G31.1 G31.2 G31.3 G31.4).
Please make sure a test is carried out in a safe condition before running
the software. This can be done by writing a small program or by M.D.I.
mode, to establish the correct channel is operating successfully (see
Chapter 6 Fanuc Software Installation).

Printer Interface Notes
The Renishaw Print Macro is formatted to output data to 80 characters per
line (page width).
Connection to the machine will make use of an RS232 serial port. Your
printer must have this option installed.
You will require a suitable communication cable with a 25 way D-type

connector at the machine end. A typical configuration is shown below
(refer to your printer documentation for cable configuration).
The printer and machine parameters must be set so that the

communication protocol is matched.
Set the following characteristics:
1. Number of start bits signals to mark the start of

each character.
2. Number of stop bits signals sent to mark the end of
each character.
3. Number of data bits character signals to be printed.
4. Speed of communication Baud rate approximately the
same as the number of bits per
second.
5. Reliability of communication A parity bit can be sent.
Manual No. H-2000-6040 339

Additional DIP switch settings are usually available on the printer for
setting things like character type, spacing etc. (see the Printer
Documentation).

CAUTIONS
Connection to high speed skip is straight forward when
the machine builder has provided the option.
The task of retrofitting the option may not be possible if

the machine builders system configuration does not
permit its use.
Relevant hardware options installed are no guarantee that

the option will work.
Consultation with the machine builder is essential, before

attempting an installation.

5.1 Parameters
Full parameter descriptions and methods of changing values are to be
found in the relevant Fanuc Operators Manual.
It is important when changing parameters to only change the parameter

bits stated.
Do not change any blank parameters in the following documentation.
It is good practice to record parameter changes together with the old

values.
5.2 Parameters for G Codes 0-6-10-11-

12-15 M/T
G codes may be set for the simplified calling of macro programs.
The following parameters can be set. The G codes are optional 3-figure
codes have been chosen to avoid clashes with standard G codes.
The G code calls given in the charts opposite are only recommended
codes, and are subject to the availability of free G codes.
Should there be any doubt as to the availability of free G codes, the

programs can be called by using G65 instead of the simplified macro call.

The data range for Parameter 5110 is 1-7, but print is controlled by 1-4.
DC1-DC4 Control Codes will turn on a tape punch for example, if it is off. If
using a teletype, Data Dynamics Zip etc with attached punch, this could
mean the punching of tape when it is not required.
Feed must not be used. The control will issue null code (feed) each time
and the macro refers to POPEN and PCLOS if set to do so.
To prevent this, the feed must not be used. Therefore, the recommended
range of I/O specification is 3-4 printing only. This may mean specifying a
separate device type, if the RS232C is used for tape output.

6.1 Software Installation

The installation and use of software require the setting of machine
parameters. Refer to your Fanuc operating manuals for procedures related
to parameters (see Machine Parameter Section).
Check the Fanuc control program directory to ensure all macro numbers
on the tape are available for use (see the Macro Number lists in the
Programming Manual).
Where a conflict in numbers exists, then either the resident macro

numbers can be changed, or deleted if not required, otherwise the
Renishaw macro numbers can be modified.
Top level macro numbers can be changed, but if they are moved outside
the range of G and M code selectable numbers, then they must be called
in part programs using the G65P - - - method.
Renumbering user transparent macros will involve changing the nested

macro call statements within the Renishaw macros. Refer to Renishaw if
in doubt.
Refer to Chapter 5 Fanuc Machine Parameters and follow the

instructions for setting parameters for safe software operation.
Full descriptions and methods of changing parameters are to be found in

the Fanuc Manuals.
Depending on the control system in use, certain parameters require

resetting after completing probe system and software checks.

6.4 Notes Prior to Use

Please check the following.
The probe installation should be tested for safe operation prior to using the
macros.
1. Testing Skip Function
2. Write a small program
e.g. O0001
G91 G40 G80
G31 Z-50. F100 (Metric values shown)
G90
M30
The probe should never be turned on and active.
The spindle should be in safe position where the Z axis is free to travel
50mm (1.97in).
When the machine is in cycle and the G31 command is read, the Z axis
should move.
Verify this on the position page of the screen.
If the probe is triggered manually the slides should stop, and the program
end.
If this does not happen the installation should be checked.
6.4.1 Retrofit Packages using the Status Relay

NOTE: This section is not applicable to Yasnac controllers.
If the Z axis does not move when the above test program is run,
then check the skip diagnostic.
If the diagnostic signal is high, the machine is inhibited.
Check, if the output relay is configured normally open or normally closed
correctly (see Hardware Installation).
66 Manual No. H-2000-6040

Software packages fitted with user input/output signals.

Test that these signals are being read by the control.
Check relevant diagnostics for change of state (see Chapter 4 Fanuc
Diagnostic and Location Chart and High Speed Skip).
Manual No. H-2000-6040 67

6.5 Fanuc Diagnostics for Skip

NOTE: The following table covers MI 5, MI 8, MI 12, and MI 14
interfaces.

3. Power on. 2. A forced condition for
transmission failure.
or
3. IMM/IMP not aligned.
or
4. Power off.
68 Manual No. H-2000-6040

6.6 Checking Fast Feed Rates

Check that macro variables used do not coincide with the Renishaw list of
common and retained variables.
If software edits are required, consult Renishaw or your Renishaw

Distributor.
6.6.1 Checking the Fast Feed Rate in the Z

Direction
Z0
Figure 6.1 Checking Fast Feed Rate in Z Direction
Position the stylus a small distance (0.5mm [0.197in]) inside the surface
(A) and approximately 10mm (0.4in) above.
Write a small program using G31 skip to take the probe stylus through the
surface. Being only a small distance inside the surface allows the stylus to
deflect without breaking.
When the machine slides have come to a halt, measure distance B.

Distance B must not exceed the actual travel provided for the stylus in the
Z axis.
Manual No. H-2000-6040 69

Information regarding travel for the Z axis is to be found in the Renishaw

Users Guide supplied with the system.
Sample Program
G91 G80 G40

G31 Z-10.0 F3000
(For retrofit installations make F1000, values shown in mm)
G90
M30
Measure distance B and manually return the probe to a safe position.
NOTE: Make sure the skip function (G31) is working correctly

before executing the above example.
As a rule of thumb, when distance B is within the Z axis travel of the

probe, X and Y will be within their respective limits.
Should it be necessary to make alterations to the fast feed rates consult

Renishaw or your Renishaw Distributor for advice.
The cycles should be tested at reduced feeds initially to establish that the
machine slides stop within the overtravel of the probe. The probe
overtravel in Z axis is usually the limiting condition.
It is only large machines or special circumstances which will require

adjustment to the feed rates in the macros.
Consult Renishaw or your Renishaw Distributor for advice if this is

necessary.
A Check that all machine parameters have been set (see Chapter 5
Fanuc Machine Parameters), particularly the parameters related to
retaining tool length offsets.
Test if the tool offset Vector is lost after pressing 'Reset Button'.
(see Chapter 5 Fanuc Machine Parameters).
610 Manual No. H-2000-6040

NOTE: There is a Software Deviation Record Sheet provided at the

front of this manual to record all authorised changes to
software.
B Set Tool offset type indicator #508
Set as follows :
10/11/12/15M #508 = 1 Tool offset type A
10/11/12/15M #508 = 2 Tool offset type B
10/11/12/15M #508 = 3 Tool offset type C
6M #508 = 1
0M #508 = 1 (not fitted to inspection package)
C Set Basic Move Factor #506 (Retrofit packages only).
The axis move programs all refer to #506 for the control factor.
Once the initial contact is made the recovery off the surface is made
in proportion to the factor #506.
Manual No. H-2000-6040 611

to the factor
#506.
Figure 6.2 Basic Move Factor
1. Fast feed move to the surface, the skip position is captured (*) to
gain an approximate surface position, then this is used with #506 in
order to get a recovery position for move 2.
2. Intermediate position (d) to remove stylus from the surface.
3. Slow feed move to the surface, this is the final gauging move to
capture the true surface position.
4. Rapid retract move off the surface back to the initial start position.
By testing, the value of #506 should be adjusted so that the probe

moves clear of the target surface by the smallest amount.
Values will be in the range of 0.25mm to 0.5mm (0.010in to

0.0197in) typically.
The higher the value the further away from the target surface the
probe moves to.
612 Manual No. H-2000-6040

High inertia machines will have high values of #506 to compensate

for longer accelerations and decelerations.
A default value (0.5mm [0.0197in]) is automatically installed in some

packages.
NOTE: References to #506 are applicable to machining centre

software.
Before the probe is used for measurement and setting, it must be

calibrated to the machine. This is achieved by running the calibration
cycles.
Machining Centres
a. Calibrate in a bored hole.

b. Calibrate in a ring gauge.
c. Calibrate in Z axis.
Lathes
a. Calibrate on a known diameter.

b. Calibrate in Z axis.
The characteristics of both machine and probe will be established and

stored as correction values.
NOTE: Subsequent recalibration will be required periodically

dependent on usage and application.
Always calibrate after changing the stylus.

Glossary of Terms
Glossary of Terms
Abbreviations and
Definitions
Definitions of many of the terms used are provided here to assist your
understanding of Renishaw probe systems software. Definitions of terms
associated with probing which may not have been used in this publication
are also included here.
ATAN calculation
This describes a User Transparent macro written by Renishaw to handle
the ATAN function in mathematical calculations.
User Transparent
Macros which are used by the software but which do not get called directly
by the user, i.e. they are for internal use by the software only.
BRDO
Ball Radius Directional Offsets. This is a term that is used to describe the
stored software compensations for the stylus ball radius. They are
determined during calibration of the probe.
Bore/Boss Measure
This is a Renishaw measuring cycle type definition.
Bore is an internal-width feature measurement on a circle. Feature types
consist of holes or bores.
Boss this is an external-width feature measurement on a circle. Feature
types consist of shafts, bosses, and spigots.
Manual No. H-2000-6040 GLY1

Glossary of Terms
Calibration
This is the method of establishing the probe trigger point compensations.
They include the probe and machine effects which the software must use
to correct the results.
C.W.
Clockwise
C.C.W.
Counter-clockwise.
Datum, Datuming
This is the method used to establish a part feature reference point which is
subsequently used for other measurement or machining operations. A
datum defines any co-ordinate value as a reference position.
DPRNT
This is a Fanuc control command. It outputs ASCII data to the RS-232 port
of the controller. It is used to output a part inspection report that is based
on probe results.
DTI
Dial Test Indicator. This instrument is traditionally used for aligning vices
and fixtures with respect to the machine axis.
Gauging Move
This describes the movement of the probe onto the surface with data
capture active, i.e. it is a measurement move.
IMM
Inductive Module Machine. Together with the IMP, it forms part of the
inductive transmission system that is used to transmit signals back to the
machine tool controller. The IMM is part of the inductive coupling and is
mounted on the machine. See also IMP.
GLY2 Manual No. H-2000-6040

Glossary of Terms
IMP
Inductive Module Probe. Together with the IMM, it forms part of the
inductive transmission system that is used to transmit signals back to the
machine tool controller. The IMP is part of the inductive coupling and is
mounted on the probe. See also IMM.
INHIBIT
This is a Renishaw interface input signal. It is used to either stop or inhibit
the transmission of the probe signal to the machine controller.
MDI
Manual Data Input. This is a commonly used term on Fanuc controllers
(and controllers that emulate the Fanuc). It means that operation of the
machine is determined by data that is entered through the keyboard.
MMS Menu Cycles

Mazatrol Monitoring System. This is a standard Mazak probe option unit
that is normally fitted as original equipment.
MI5 Interface
This is the Renishaw probe interface that is used to condition and control
the probe signal to the machine tool.
M19 Spindle Orientation

This is the machine manufacturers M-code function that instructs the
machine spindle to rotate and orientate to a fixed position.
Nominal Surface Position

This is the expected surface position, or theoretical position. When used in
relation to tolerances, it refers to the mid-position of the upper and lower
limit of the surface.
O-M-I
Optical Module Interface. This is a combined optical receiver and
machine interface unit that forms part of the Renishaw optical probe
transmission system. The unit is mounted either on the guarding or some
other suitable position where it is within the transmission envelope and
range of the probe.

Glossary of Terms
OMM
Optical Module Machine. This is part of the Renishaw optical probe
range of the probe.
OMP
Optical Module Probe. This is part of the Renishaw optical probe
transmission system. The unit is mounted on the probe unit.
Optimisation Macro
This is part of the Renishaw software package. It is used to establish the
optimum fast feed rates for probing and the optimum back-off distance.
PCD
Pitch Circle Diameter. This is a commonly used British term to mean a
set of features placed in a circular pattern.
Probe Trigger Flag

This is a variable or diagnostic register which is set to a value when the
probe is triggered.
Protected Positioning
This is a means of moving the probe from place to place while the probe
trigger signal is monitored. In the event of an unexpected triggering signal,
the machine axis is halted to prevent damage to the probe stylus.
PTR
Paper Tape Reader. This is the machines interface which is used to load
the stored part programs. It is now largely superseded by the use of floppy
disk drives, external PCs, and the RS-232 serial interface.
RMM
Receiver Module Machine. This is part of the Renishaw radio probe
range of the probe.

Glossary of Terms
RMP
Radio Module Probe. This is part of the Renishaw radio probe
transmission system. The unit is mounted on the probe.
SPC
Statistical Process Control. Some Renishaw software packages contain
a macro which uses a simple form of SPC to control tool offset update
corrections in closed loop machining.
Stylus
This is the probe tip assembly that is used to trigger the probe on the tool
during measurement.
SSR
Solid State Relay. The SSR Converter Terminal Block is a Renishaw
hardware unit which is used to convert the signal from a signal
conditioning module into an SRR output signal.
Tolerance Limits
These are the extreme upper and lower metal condition values from the
nominal surface position.
Vector Cycle, Vector Measure / Calibration

This is a probe move, which move one or more machine axes
simultaneously to approach the surface from the normal direction.
Vector Stylus Ball Radius Calibration

This is an extra set of probe stylus ball radius calibration values which
must be determined when using vector cycles. They are the probe
software compensation values required for probing in different directions.
Web Pocket Measure

This describes a Renishaw measuring cycle type definition.
Pocket is an internal-width feature measurement. Feature types consist
of slots, pockets, and internal recesses.
Web is an external-width feature measurement. Feature types consist of
blocks, plate widths, and upstanding keys.

Glossary of Terms
Work Zero Point

This is a similar concept to Datum. It defines where the work co-ordinate
system is set to zero. A datum can define any co-ordinate value as a
reference position.
Workpiece Datum
This can be any workpiece feature or co-ordinate, which is chosen as a
reference position.
