PROBING CANNED CYCLES.
The CNC offers the following probing canned cycles.
• Tool radius and length calibration canned cycle.
• Probe calibration canned cycle.
• Surface measuring canned cycle.
• Outside corner measuring canned cycle.
• Inside corner measuring canned cycle.
• Angle measuring canned cycle.
• Corner and angle measuring canned cycle.
• Hole measuring canned cycle.
• Boss measuring canned cycle.
Tool and probe calibrations cycles are carried out in the G17, G18 and
G19 planes. The rest of the cycles can also be executed in any plane
defined with function G20.
Programming
The canned cycles are programmed using the #PROBE instruction.
The #PROBE instruction calls a probing cycle indicated by a number
or any expression resulting in a number. Also, it permits initializing the
parameters of that cycle with the values to be used to execute it using
the assignment instructions.
When using more than one probe, the probe to be used must be
selected before executing the canned cycles. The selection is made
using the instruction #SELECT PROBE ("15.1.26 Additional
programming instructions").
Considerations
Probing canned cycles are not modal; therefore, they must be
programmed every time any of them is to be executed.
The probes used when executing these cycles are:
• Probe located in a fixed position of the machine, used to calibrate
tools.
• Probe located in the tool holding spindle; it will be treated as a tool
and will be used in the various measuring cycles.
Executing a probing canned cycles does not change the history of the
previous "G" functions, except the tool radius compensation functions
G41 and G42.
