  1. Re: Probe calibration cycle confusion. G78 bore locate works but G72 calibration does

    Amazing info again, thank you yet again!

    those DIP switch settings in particular, super helpful!

    Taking a look at both of those diagrams. They seem to line up with the physical diagram I have....
  2. Re: Probe calibration cycle confusion. G78 bore locate works but G72 calibration does

    probe contacts & wiring - you're very much on to what is likely the issue, thank you again!

    You're right, things don't match up, I fiddled with normally open/normally closed/MI8-4 and OMM configs...
  3. Re: Probe calibration cycle confusion. G78 bore locate works but G72 calibration does

    Thank you again for the thoughtful replies! Apologies for the delayed response, got distracted with some other shop projects while waiting for the CF probe tip.

    Super interesting on the rotation!...
  4. Re: Probe calibration cycle confusion. G78 bore locate works but G72 calibration does

    super helpful info, thank you!



    very straight forward and quick process, thank you again!

    Unfortunately no change, exact same behavior as before :(
  5. Re: Probe calibration cycle confusion. G78 bore locate works but G72 calibration does

    That 100% sounds in-line with the observed behavior!

    Any pointers on how to do that? Is this a 'reload software' from the acramatic service menu, or something in programware? I'm failing at...
  6. It seems the tool system register screen is...

    It seems the tool system register screen is showing in metric only? The tool table shows inches and the ball diam is entered as an inch value. The rest of the screens all seem to be in inches... I...
  7. Larger or smaller bore diameter values in the g72...

    Larger or smaller bore diameter values in the g72 dont change the outcome. If I leave the probe above everything on the table the probe will run to the end of the table before reporting a no hit. If...
  8. Re: Probe calibration cycle confusion. G78 bore locate works but G72 calibration does

    Thank you again Greg!

    1. confirmed both values are 0 in the tool table - diameter of probe ball end is confirmed & set
    2. done - the G78 bore cycle was within half a thou center - but the...
  9. Re: Probe calibration cycle confusion. G78 bore locate works but G72 calibration does

    Thank you Greg!

    That confirms the #2 operation is the right one.

    Unfortunately I'm still running in to the unexpected hit alarm.

    Here is a video

  10. Probe calibration cycle confusion. G78 bore locate works but G72 calibration doesn't

    Adding probing to a sabre 1000.

    OMI machine interface and OMP400 probe. Probe is set to OMP700 in acramatic. Otherwise wired 100% to the wiring diagram

    G74 height calibration cycle works great...

    Re: Looking for Sabre 1000 VFS5 TL file?

    Thank you sir! that was some more good info on there.

    I've combined that information in addition to the spindle addendum and have built a TL file. The spindle/vfs unit accepts the TL without error...

    Looking for Sabre 1000 VFS5 TL file?

    Looking for a known good spindle TL file for the 8k spindle in a sabre 1000.

    New-to-me machine looks to have some funky/garbage values after a 3k mile road trip.

    I've tried to hack together a...
