To make it possible to cover the widest possible range of applications, the
touch-probe table offers numerous settings to enable you to determine the
behavior common to all touch probe cycles:
Column Description
T Number of the touch probe: Enter this number in the tool table
(column: TP_NO) under the appropriate tool number
TYPE Selection of the touch probe used
CAL_OF1 Offset of the touch probe axis to the spindle axis for the
reference axis
CAL_OF2 Offset of the touch probe axis to the spindle axis for the minor
axis
F Feed rate at which the control is to probe the workpiece
FMAX Feed rate at which the touch probe pre-positions, or is
positioned between the measuring points
DIST Maximum measuring range. If the stylus is not deflected within
the defined path, the control outputs an error message.
SET_UP Set-up clearance for pre-positioning during probing cycles
F_PREPOS Pre-positioning with speed from the column FMAX:
FMAX_PROBE
Pre-positioning at the machine’s rapid traverse:
FMAX_MACHINE
TRACK Spindle orientation (the touch probe is oriented so that it is
always probed by the same point on the touch-probe stylus tip)
At this time, the lathe control evaluates only columns T, TYPE and F of the
touch probe table.
For more detailed information about tool measurement, please refer to the
chapter "In-Process Measurement" of the User's Manual for your control.
