Fundamentals of touch probe cycles 400 to 405
Characteristics common to all touch probe cycles for measuring workpiece misalignment
In Cycles 400, 401, and 402, you can use parameter Q307 Preset value for rotation angle to define whether the measurement result will be corrected by a known angle α (see figure). This enables you to measure the basic rotation against any straight line 1 of the workpiece and to establish the reference to the actual 0° direction 2.
Tip
These cycles do not work with 3D ROT! In such a case, use cycles 14xx. Fundamentals of touch probe cycles 14xx (#17 / #1-05-1)
Note
- If you use the touch probe cycles to correct the offset of a rotary axis, the control adds the values to the current value. Corrections can lead to values outside of the modulo range –360° to +360°. If a rotary axis already has an offset outside of the modulo range, you can reduce the value with PRESET CORR and the entry 0 in the modulo range.
