A probe trigger signal is generated
when the probe is in the operating
mode and the stylus is driven
against a surface and is deflected.
The machine control records the
probe contact position and instructs
machine motion to stop.
High probing speeds are desirable,
however a probing velocity must
be chosen which allows the
machine to stop within the limits
of stylus overtravel. Follow feed
rate guidelines given by supplier.
To ensure a trigger signal is given,
drive the probe against the
workpiece to a target beyond the
expected surface, but within the
limits of stylus overtravel.
After the probe’s stylus touches the
surface, reverse clear of the surface.
Probe gauging moves should be
made at constant speed.
Single and double touch
If the probe operating sequence is
based on a single touch, then the
probe may be returned to its start
point, following a gauging move.
