PROBE 9. Boss measuring cycle
12.11 PROBE 9. Boss measuring cycle
A probe placed in the spindle will be used, which must be previously calibrated by means of canned
cycles:
Tool length calibrating canned cycle.
Probe calibrating canned cycle.
The programming format for this cycle is:
(PROBE 9, X, Y, Z, B, J, E, C, H, F)
[ X±5.5 ] Theoretical coordinate, along the X axis, of the boss center
[ Y±5.5 ] Theoretical coordinate, along the Y axis, of the boss center
[ Z±5.5 ] Theoretical coordinate, along the Z axis, of the boss center
[ B5.5 ] Safety distance
Defines the safety distance. Must be programmed with a positive value and over 0.
[ J5.5 ] Theoretical diameter of the boss.
Defines the theoretical diameter of the boss. Must be programmed with a positive value and over 0.
This cycle allows bosses to be measured with diameters of no more than (J+B).
[ E5.5 ] Withdrawal distance
Defines the distance which the probe moves back after initial probing. Must be programmed with
a positive value and over 0.
[ C ] Actions after finishing the probing operation
Indicates where the probing cycle must finish.
C = 0 Will return to the same point where the call to the cycle was made.
C = 1 The cycle will finish by positioning the probe over the center of the boss, at a
distance (B) from the programmed theoretical coordinate.
If not programmed, the canned cycle will take the value of "C0".
[ H5.5 ] Initial probing feedrate
Defines the feedrate for the initial probing movement. It must be programmed in mm/minute or
inches/minute.
[ F5.5 ] Probing feedrate
It sets the probing feedrate. It must be programmed in mm/minute or inches/minute.
