2.7 Measure workpiece in AUTOMATIC
With in-process measurements in Automatic mode, NC programs are specifically parameterized
for the measuring task (measuring cycles). The input screens of the program editor are used for
parameter assignment. The measuring points to be approached and the measuring task are
automatically implemented in accordance with the measuring program.
For measuring tasks that are repeated, e.g. setup for multi-part machining, you can simply run
the NC programs and the workpieces will be measured plus aligned, and the tools corrected
automatically.
The workpiece is measured to determine workpiece tolerances in the production process.
Depending on the measuring cycle used, you can select the following options as the result of
workpiece measurement:
Measurement only without offsets (actual value is measured)
Work offset compensation (setpoint - actual value deviation)
Tool data offset (setpoint - actual value deviation)
2.7.1 Measuring cycles in AUTOMATIC for SINUMERIK
Practical measuring cycles are provided to facilitate in-process measurements.
X You can select the measuring cycles within the NC program using the softkeys Measure Mill
> Measure workpiece.
The softkeys for in-process measurements can be found on the expanded softkey bar.
You can switch to this softkey bar by pressing the expansion arrow > ( )
