5 mm

These two buttons initiate the determination of the outer dimensions and the

center point of angular and circular forms. After the measurement, the X- and

Y-dimension of the form and then the machine coordinates of the center point

will be displayed by UCCNC.

6.2 Automatic Dimension and Center Determination

Place the touch probe ( ) in front of the form as displayed.

To allow UCCNC to maintain a safety margin when determining the exact di-

mensions, you will be prompted to enter the diameter of the form after clicking

the

button. In the case of a rectangle , you will be prompted to enter

the dimension in the Y-direction and the dimension in the X-direction.

These can be quite rough dimensions, because UCCNC will keep 25 mm safety

distance in X- and Y-direction when probing. In Z-direction, the 3D probe will

keep 20 mm safety distance. Your workpiece should accordingly not be higher

than this distance.

The touch probe measures in this order: rst along the Y-axis, then along the

X-axis, and nally the Y-axis is probed again.
