Fundamentals

Overview

 
Machine

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.

The control provides cycles for the following special purposes:
