Matrix Machine Tool (Coventry) Limited 60 / 231
A proximity sensor fixed to the component location block is used to detect when the part has been
orientated to the correct start position prior to advancing the measuring probe stylus into the
workpiece groove.
The measuring stylus is monitored during the slide advance sequence. If an obstruction causes the
stylus to deflect whilst the slide is advancing then the following sequence of actions take place:
1. slide immediately forced back to retracted position
2. alarm message “Probe unexpected hit – probe cycle aborted” is displayed on the HMI screen
3. the automatic cycle stops
