16.4 Outside corner measuring canned cycle
A probe must be used mounted in the spindle, previously calibrated
using canned cycles #PROBE 1 and #PROBE 2.
Programming
The cycle may be programmed in any work plane. Depending on the
work plane, the theoretical coordinates of the cycle may be defined
in several ways:
• In the active work plane, except if the plane is formed by any of the
axes A-B-C.
• Using parameters X-Y-Z. When the plane is not formed by these
axes, these parameters are interpreted as coordinates in the first
axis, second axis and axis perpendicular to the work plane
respectively.
The programming format in the G17, G18 or G19 plane is:
#PROBE 4 X Y Z B F
Depending on the part corner to be measured, the probe must be
placed in the corresponding shaded area (see figure) before calling
the cycle.
#PROBE 4 X50 Y65 Z15 … Main axes X-Y-Z
#PROBE 4 X1=50 Y2=65 Z1=15 … Main axes X1-Y2-Z1
#PROBE 4 X50 Y65 Z15 … Main axis X1-B-C
X Theoretical X coordinate of the corner to be measured.
Y Theoretical Y coordinate of the corner to be measured.
Z Theoretical Z coordinate of the corner to be measured.
B Safety distance. It must be programmed with a positive value
greater than 0.
When calling the cycle, the probe must be located, with respect
to the point to be measured, at a greater distance than this
value
F Probing feedrate.
