Suppressing touch probe monitoring with M141
Application
In conjunction with the touch probe cycles 3 MEASURING or 4 MEASURING IN 3-D, if the stylus is deflected, you can retract the touch probe in a positioning block with M141.
Description of function
Effect
M141 is in effect blockwise for straight lines and takes effect at the start of the block.
Application example
NC programs contained in this User's Manual are suggestions for solutions. The NC programs or individual NC blocks must be adapted before being used on a machine.
Change the following contents as needed:
- Tools
- Cutting parameters
- Feed rates
- Clearance height or safe position
- Machine-specific positions (e.g., with M91)
- Paths of program calls
Some NC programs depend on the machine kinematics. Adapt these NC programs to your machine kinematics before the first test run.
In addition, test the NC programs using the simulation before the actual program run.
With a program test you determine whether the NC program can be used with the available software options, the active machine kinematics and the current machine configuration.

In Cycle 3 MEASURING the control probes the X axis of the workpiece. Since no retraction distance MB is defined in this cycle, the touch probe stands still after the deflection.
In NC block 16 the control retracts the touch probe against the probing direction by 20 mm. M141 suppresses monitoring of the touch probe.
Without M141 the control issues an error message as soon as you move the machine axes.
