Tool Calibration
A tool calibration must be done after a needle is changed, if a tool is installed, or after any
change in the physical location of a tool. The purpose of a tool calibration is twofold:
• If “Use Needle Calibration” is enabled on a virtual tool’s Tool Configuration, the Tool
Calibration Function adjusts the tool offset and applies a program offset to correct
the position of the tool’s tip.
• If “Use Profile Calibration” is enabled on a virtual tool’s Tool Configuration, the Tool
Calibration Function adjusts the
Profile Offset for the tool.
NOTE: Enable the teach tool option to use the Tool Calibration function.
Figure 58: Tool Calibration
WARNING: The tool offsets, the Needle Calibration Sensor Locate Sequence (if applicable)
AND the Profile Plunger Locate Sequence (if applicable) must be set up before a Tool
Calibration is done, or the system could be damaged.
1. Select the Tool Calibration button on the main tool bar.
2. Select the necessary tool from the Tool Selection window. Multiple, consecutive
tools can be selected. Use the
Sort buttons to sort the tools so the necessary tools
are listed consecutively. Hold the “
Shift” key and click or click and drag to highlight
the tools to calibrate.
NOTE: For a tool to show up in the tool selection list, the “Use Needle Calibration” checkbox
or the “Use Profile Calibration” must be checked in the Tool Configuration window.

4. When the Tool Calibration is done, changes are saved and offsets are applied to the
path programs for the related tool(s), if Needle Calibration was run.
5. For multi-tool calibration, all applied calibration operations run for each tool, in any
combination of Needle Calibration and Profile Calibration. Any changes to
Tool
Offsets or Profile Offsets are saved and offsets are applied to tools individually, if
the calibration was successful.
6. If any of the selected tools fail, the sequence is stopped. Any tools that were
completed before the failed tool will have
Tool Offsets and/or Profile Offsets
applied. If a multi-tool calibration fails, move the mouse over the failed message to
show a pop up with the status of each tool. The popup window must have focus to
show the popup hint.

7. Use the “Cancel” button to stop the sequence. For multi-tool calibration, the current
tool will finish calibrating and changes will be saved for all of the tools that complete
calibration before the calibration was canceled.
