Cycle 1 POLAR PRESET (#17 / #1-05-1)

ISO programming

NC syntax is available only in Klartext programming.

Application

Touch probe cycle 1 measures any position on the workpiece in any probing direction.

Cycle sequence

  1. In a 3D movement, the touch probe moves at rapid traverse (value from the FMAX column) to the pre-position 1 programmed in the cycle.
  2. Next, the touch probe performs probing at the probing feed rate (F column). During probing, the control moves the touch probe simultaneously in two axes (depending on the probing angle). Use polar angles to define the probing direction in the cycle.
  3. After the control has saved the position, the touch probe returns to the starting point. The control stores the coordinates of the position of the touch probe at the time of the triggering signal in parameters Q115 to Q119

Notes

 
Notice
Danger of collision!
The control moves the touch probe in a 3D movement at rapid traverse to the pre-position programmed in the cycle. Depending on the previous position of the tool, there is danger of collision!
  1. Pre-position to a position where there is no danger of collision when the programmed pre-positioning point is approached
  • This cycle can only be executed in the FUNCTION MODE MILL machining mode.
  • The probing axis defined in the cycle specifies the probing plane:
    Probing axis X: X/Y plane
    Probing axis Y: Y/Z plane
    Probing axis Z: Z/X plane
