Decimal place
= 2 only plus direction
= 3 both directions
Example
If the general cycle machine data SD54647 $SNS_MEA_TPW_AX_DIR_AUTO_CAL has the
value 123, the tool probe is calibrated as follows in the G17 plane:
● X in both directions
● Y only in plus direction
● Z only in minus direction
Monitoring when measuring with a rotating spindle
SD54670 $SNS_MEA_CM_MAX_PERI_SPEED[0] Maximum permissible peripheral
speed of the tool to be measured.
= 100 Default value
SD54671 $SNS_MEA_CM_MAX_REVOLUTIONS[0] Maximum permissible tool speed of the
tool to be measured. The speed is au‐
tomatically reduced when exceeded.
= 1000 Default value
SD54672 $SNS_MEA_CM_MAX_FEEDRATE[0] Maximum permissible feedrate to
probe the tool to be measured at the
probe.
= 20 Default value
SD54673 $SNS_MEA_CM_MIN_FEEDRATE[0] Minimum feedrate for the first probing
of the tool to be measured at the probe.
This avoids excessively small fee‐
drates for large tool radii.
= 1 Default value
SD54674 $SNS_MEA_CM_SPIND_ROT_DIR[0] Spindle direction of rotation to measure
tools.
4 = M4 Default value
Note
If the spindle is already rotating when the measuring cycle is called, this direction of rotation
remains independent of the setting of this data.
