Touch probe cycles for automatic mode
The control provides numerous touch probe cycles for various
applications:
Calibrating a touch trigger probe
Measuring circles, circle segments, angle and position of the C
axis
Misalignment compensation
Single-point and double-point measurement
Finding a hole or stud
Datum setting in the Z or C axis
Automatic tool measurement
Touch probe cycles are programmed in the smart.Turn operating
mode using the G codes. Just like the fixed cycles, the touch probe
cycles also use transfer parameters.
To simplify programming, the control shows a graphic during cycle
definition. The appropriate input parameters are displayed in the
help graphic.
The touch probe cycles save status information and measuring
results in the variable #i99.
Depending on the input parameters in the touch probe cycle you
can interrogate various values.
