Brief description
Channel-specific measuring
A measurement mode is programmed in a part program block (with or without DDTG). A trigger event (edge of the probe) is
defined additionally, which will trigger the measurement process. The instructions apply to all axes programmed in this
particular block. The program with the measurement process in "AUTO" mode is executed and can be employed for
workpiece or tool measuring.
The control system includes operator support for the measurement process in "JOG" mode specially for measuring tools.
Channel-specific measuring is integrated into this sequence. The PLC user program must include the required functionality.
The measured offset values of the tool are available in the tool offset memory at the end of the measuring sequence.
The exact operating instructions are contained in the SINUMERIK 808D/SINUMERIK 808D ADVANCED Programming and
Operating Manual.
Note
The automatic measuring function is supported only on a milling machine.

Probes that can be used
General
In order to measure tool and workpiece dimensions, a touch-trigger probe is required that supplies a constant signal (rather
than a pulse) when deflected.
