Suppressing touch probe monitoring

Application

If you move a workpiece touch probe too close to the workpiece, you can accidentally deflect the workpiece touch probe. You cannot retract a deflected workpiece touch probe in the monitored state. You can retract a deflected workpiece touch probe by suppressing touch probe monitoring.

Description of function

If the control does not receive a stable signal from the probe, the button displays Suppress touch probe monitoring.

As long as touch-probe monitoring is switched off, the control displays the error message The touch probe monitor is deactivated for 30 seconds. This error message remains active only for 30 seconds.

Deactivating touch probe monitoring

To deactivate touch probe monitoring:

    1. Select the Manual operating mode

    1. Select Suppress touch probe monitoring
    2. The control disables touch-probe monitoring for 30 seconds.

    1. If required, move the touch probe so that the control receives a stable signal from it.

    Notes

     
    Notice
    Danger of collision!
    While touch-probe monitoring is deactivated, the control will not perform collision checking. Thus, you must ensure that the touch probe can be positioned safely. There is a risk of collision if you choose the wrong direction of traverse!
    1. Carefully move the axes in the Manual operating mode

    If the touch probe sends a stable signal within the 30 seconds, then touch-probe monitoring reactivates itself automatically and the error message is cleared.
