In the touch probe table you define the set-up clearance, i.e., how far away from the defined touch point (or the one calculated by the cycle) the control will pre-position the touch probe. The smaller the value you enter, the more exactly you must define the touch point position. In many touch probe cycles, you can also define a set-up clearance that is added to the one from the touch probe table.
The following can be defined in the touch probe table:
- Type of tool
- Touch probe center offset
- Spindle angle during calibration
- Probing feed rate
- Rapid traverse in probing cycle
- Maximum measuring range
- Set-up clearance
- Feed rate for pre-positioning
- Touch probe orientation
- Serial number
- Reaction in case of collision
