Overview

 
Machine

Refer to your machine manual.

Some cycles and functions may not be provided on your machine.

Option 17 is required.

The control must be specifically prepared by the machine manufacturer for the use of a 3D touch probe.

HEIDENHAIN guarantees the proper operation of the touch probe cycles only in conjunction with HEIDENHAIN touch probes.

 
Notice
Danger of collision!
When running touch probe cycles 400 to 499, all cycles for coordinate transformation must be inactive. There is a danger of collision!
  1. The following cycles must not be activated before a touch probe cycle: Cycle 7 DATUM SHIFT, Cycle 8 MIRRORING, Cycle 10 ROTATION, Cycle 11 SCALING FACTOR, and Cycle 26 AXIS-SPECIFIC SCALING.
  2. Reset any coordinate transformations beforehand.

In conjunction with the control's tool measurement cycles, the tool touch probe enables you to measure tools automatically: the compensation values for tool length and radius are stored in the tool table and are accounted for at the end of the touch probe cycle. The following types of tool measurement are provided:

  • Measurement of a stationary tool
  • Measurement of a rotating tool
  • Measurement of individual teeth
