Important: You cannot use the G37 series G codes to modify the wheel
radius offset values. You can only modify wheel length offset values.
The target offset value for these gauging functions is determined by the
currently active wheel of fset number.
ATTENTION: If modifying a wheel length
offset, the offset
value generated with this gauging function is immediately
loaded into the offset table. Since this offset must be the
currently active offset, it becomes effective immediately when
the next block is executed or is delayed until the next block that
contains motion on t he wheel length axis i s executed (when an
offset is activated is determined in AMP by your system
installer).
The G37 series of G codes always produces linear motion regardless of the
current mode active at their execution. After their completion, the control
returns to the operating mode active before the skip block was read (G00,
G01, G02, G03).
Your system installer det ermines in AMP a position tolerance for the G37
functions. This tolerance defines a legal range before and after the
coordinate position programmed with the axis word in the G37 block.
If the skip signal is received before the wheel enters or after the wheel
exits the position tolerance range, a PROBE ERROR occurs. This error
appears on the screen as a warning but does not place the control in
E-STOP. Instead, the control aborts the G37 block and proceeds program
execution to the next block. No modification of the wheel offset table is
performed.
