TS27R

Steps on TS27R
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Mounting the probe. Adjusting the stylus. Probe calibration. Setting length only. Setting length and diameter. Using the tool to set a Z work offset.

1. Mounting the probe 2. Adjusting the stylus

Detach the probe base from the bottom of the TS27R by removing the two 3MM screws at the base. Attach the plate to the machine with a T bolt. Refit the TS27R with the 3MM screws. ADJUST THE FLATNESS OF THE STYLUS IN BOTH X AND Y
USING AN INDICATOR WITH VERY LITTLE PRESSURE CHECK TO INSURE A MAXINUM FLATNESS OF .0002 (5um). ADJUSTMENTS ARE MADE WITH TWO SCREWS THAT ACT IN OPPOSITION TO EACH OTHER. ADJUST SCREWS ALTERNATELY UNTIL THE DESIRED FLATNESS IS ACHIEVED, THEN TIGHTEN BOTH SCREWS. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN SETSCREWS. USE SCREWS (A) FOR ADJUSTMENT ALONG THE X-AXIS. USE SETSCREWS (B) FOR ADJUSTMENT ALONG THE Y-AXIS.

Using Visual Quick Code (VQC) the TS27R must be calibrated. Follow the procedure outlined in step 3 below. 3. Probe calibration
1. 2. Set up a known diameter gauge pin in a tool holder. Measure the length of the tool. This can be done by mounting an indicator to the table and touching the tool tip, note the Z position. Then remove the tool and touch the spindle face to the indicator, note the Z position. 3. Press <Edit> 4. Press <Prgrm> 3 times until VQC comes up. 5. Cursor to Probe Calibration. <Write> 6. Cursor to Calibrate Length and Diameter. <Write> 7. Enter tool length and diameter, also enter if the TS27R is on the left or right side as you face the machine. 8. Cursor to: 1. Select/create a program 2. Add to current program 3. MDI 4. Cancel <Write> (MDI is recommended). 9. Load the tool into the spindle and handle within .4 above top of disk stylus. 10. Ensure correct mode. 11. Cycle start the program.

4. Setting length only

Any tool can be set for length only. Tools that can touch the .5 inch disk can be set as follows this includes drills, taps, reamers. 1. Press <Edit> 2. Press <Prgrm> 3 times until VQC comes up. 3. Cursor to Tool Setting. 4. Select Auto Length Only. <Write> 5. Enter the tool number to be set. 6. Cursor to: 1. Select/create a program 2. Add to current program 3. MDI 4. Cancel <Write> (MDI is recommended). 7. Ensure correct mode. 8. Cycle start the program. Tools that are larger such as face mills, boring bars, large diameter tools. 1. Press <Edit> 2. Press <Prgrm> 3 times until VQC comes up. 3. Cursor to Tool Setting. 4. Select Manual Length Only. 5. Enter the tool number to be set. <Write> 6. Cursor to: 1. Select/create a program 2. Add to current program 3. MDI 4. Cancel <Write> (MDI is the recommended). 7. Load tool to be set in the spindle and handle a flute within .4 above top of disk. 8. Ensure correct mode. 9. Cycle start the program.

This cycle is used to automatically set length and diameter. 1. Press <Edit> 2. Press <Prgrm> 3 times until VQC comes up. 3. Cursor down to tool setting. 4. Select Auto Length and Diameter. <Write> 5. Enter the tool number to be set. <Write> 6. Enter the approximate length and diameter. <Write> 7. Cursor to: 1. Select/create a program 2. Add to current program 3. MDI 4. Cancel <Write> (MDI is recommended). 8. Ensure correct mode. 9. Cycle start the program.

5. Setting length and diameter
