5 Measuring Cycles for Milling Machines and Machining Centres 07.90
5.4.1 L978 ZO determination on surface (1-point measuring cycle)
Example: ZO determination on workpiece with cycle L978 in the X and Y axes
(Data as in Fig. 5.26)
ZO is to be checked on a workpiece as shown in Fig. 5.26. Any deviation from the selected
ZO caused by clamping tolerances is to be compensated for automatically by additive ZO to
enable machining of the workpiece to be started.
