2.5 Setting up and measuring workpiece in JOG
Once the machine has been powered up and the reference point approached, the axis positions
relate to the machine coordinate system. The work offset signals to the control the position of the
workpiece in the machine coordinate system.
2.5.1 Measuring cycles in JOG
Using the semi-automatic "Measuring in JOG", the required measuring function is selected on
the control using the appropriate softkeys. The displayed input screens are used for assigning
the function parameters. You must bring the tool or probe into a permissible starting position for
the measurement task concerned, e.g. using the traversing keys or handwheel (manual travers-
ing).
The measuring cycles support the following functions:
Calibrating a probe (calibrate)
Detecting dimensions and position of workpiece geometries, e.g. in order to set up the
machine
If only one single workpiece is to be machined, then measurements are performed in JOG
mode (as described below). If several similar parts are to be machined in the same fixture,
the measuring cycles are used in Automatic mode (the approximate zero point must be
set up).
Practical measuring cycles are provided to facilitate measurements.
