16.8 Hole 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 8 X Y Z B J E C H F
This cycle may be used to measure holes whose diameters are no
greater than (J+B).
#PROBE 8 X50 Y65 Z15 … Main axes X-Y-Z
#PROBE 8 X1=50 Y2=65 Z1=15 … Main axes X1-Y2-Z1
#PROBE 8 X50 Y65 Z15 … Main axis X1-B-C
X Theoretical hole center coordinate along the X axis.
Y Theoretical hole center coordinate along the Y axis.
Z Theoretical hole center coordinate along the Z axis.
B Safety distance. It must be programmed with a positive value
greater than 0.
J Theoretical hole diameter. It must be programmed with a
positive value greater than 0.
E Distance the probe withdrawals after the first probing
movement. It must be programmed with a positive value
greater than 0.
C It indicates where the probing cycle must end.
Value Meaning
0 The probe returns to the point from where the cycle was
called.
1 The cycle ends at the real hole center.
If not programmed, the canned cycle will take the value of "C0".
H Feedrate for the first probing movement.
F Probing feedrate.
