G211 Manual tool setting with probe

Haas NGC G-code · Lathe

Sets a new tool X, Z or both offsets with the automatic tool probe. Jog the tool near the probe, then run G211 with T and the tip direction H.

Format

G211 T H [K] [M] [C] [X] [Z] [B] [U] [W]

Addresses

Address	What it does
`T`	Tool number
`H`	Tool tip direction, minus for approach from X minus side
`K`	Calibration cycle, 1 or 2
`M`	Tool breakage tolerance
`C`	Drill diameter for tip directions 5 to 8
`X Z`	Adjust approach and start points
`B`	Probing move distance
`U W`	Adjust X or Z start point

How it works

Group none.

Example program

M104 (PROBE ARM DOWN)
T0101 (SELECT TOOL 1)
G211 T0101 H3 (SET OFFSETS, TIP DIRECTION 3)
M105 (PROBE ARM UP)

Example is in inch. Check offsets and clearances first.

Watch out for

The tool probe must be calibrated before G211 or G212.
Lower the probe arm with M104 first.
A wrong H value sends the tool into the probe.
