Cycle 1493 allows you to repeat the touch points of specific touch probe cycles along a straight line. In the cycle, you define the direction and the length of the extrusion, as well as the number of extrusion points.
The repetitions allow you, for example, to perform multiple measurements at different heights and to determine deviations based on the deflection of the tool. You can also use the extrusion to increase the accuracy during probing. Multiple measuring points help you ascertain contamination on the workpiece or rough surfaces.
In order to activate the repetition of specific touch points, you need to define Cycle 1493 before the probing cycle. Depending on the definition, this cycle will remain active for only the next cycle or for the entire NC program. The control interprets the extrusion in the input coordinate system I-CS.
