Touch probe table tchprobe.tp (#17 / #1-05-1)
Application
In the touch probe table tchprobe.tp you define the parameters of the touch probe for the touching process, such as the probing feed rate. If you use several touch probes, you can save separate parameters for each touch probe.

Description of function
The file name of the touch probe table is tchprobe.tp and this table must be stored in the folder TNC:\table.
Parameters of the touch probe table tchprobe.tp
The touch probe table tchprobe.tp provides the following parameters:
Parameter | Meaning |
---|---|
NO | Sequential number of touch probe You enter this number in the TP_NO parameter in the tool management. The control then associates the data from the touch-probe table with the tool management. Input: 1...99 |
TYPE | Selection of the touch probe? Tip The following values are available for the TS 642 touch probe:
Input: TS120, TS220, TS249, TS260, TS440, TS444, TS460, TS630, TS632, TS640, TS642-3, TS642-6, TS649, TS740, TS 760, KT130, OEM |
STYLUS | Shape of the stylus
If you do not define the parameter, the control uses SIMPLE |
CAL_OF1 | TS center misalignmt. ref. axis? [mm] Depending on the selection of STYLUS parameter, this parameter has the following function:
Required when ON is selected in parameter TRACK The control describes this value in connection with the calibration cycle. Input: –99999.9999...+99999.9999 |
CAL_OF2 | TS center misalignmt. aux. axis? [mm] Offset of the touch probe axis to the spindle axis in the secondary axis Required when ON is selected in parameter TRACK The control describes this value in connection with the calibration cycle. Input: –99999.9999...+99999.9999 |
CAL_ANG | Spindle angle for calibration? Depending on the selection of STYLUS parameter, this parameter has the following function:
Prior to calibrating or probing, the control aligns the touch probe with the spindle orientation angle (if possible). Required when ON is selected in parameter TRACK Input: 0.0000...359.9999 |
F | Probing feed rate? [mm/min] In the machine parameter maxTouchFeed (no. 122602), the machine manufacturer defines the maximum probing feed rate. If F is greater than the maximum probing feed rate, then the maximum probing feed rate will be used. Input: 0...9999 |
FMAX | Rapid traverse in probing cycle? [mm/min] Feed rate at which the control pre-positions the touch probe and positions it between the measuring points Input: +10...+99999 |
DIST | Maximum measuring range? [mm] If the stylus is not deflected in a probing process within the defined value, the control will display an error message. Input: 0.00100...99999.99999 |
SET_UP | Set-up clearance? [mm] Distance of touch probe from the defined touch point when pre-positioning The smaller this value is, the more exactly you must define the touch point position. Safety clearances defined in the touch probe cycle are added to this value. Input: 0.00100...99999.99999 |
F_PREPOS | Pre-position at rapid? ENT/NOENT Speed for pre-positioning:
Input: FMAX_PROBE, FMAX_MACHINE |
TRACK | Probe oriented? Yes=ENT/No=NOENT Orienting the infrared touch probe in each probing process:
When selecting L-TYPE in the STYLUS parameter, ON must be selected. If you change the TRACK parameter, you must recalibrate the touch probe. Input: ON, OFF |
SERIAL | Serial number? The control automatically edits this parameter of touch probes with an EnDat interface. Input: Text width 15 |
REACTION | Reaction? EMERGSTOP=ENT/NCSTOP=NOENT As soon as touch probes with a collision protection adapter detect a collision, they react by resetting the ready signal. Reaction to resetting the ready signal:
Input: NCSTOP, EMERGSTOP |

Notes
- You can also edit the touch probe table values in the tool management.
- If you want to archive tool tables or use them for simulation, save them with different file names and the corresponding file extension.
- In the machine parameter overrideForMeasure (no. 122604), the machine manufacturer defines whether you will be allowed to change the feed rate with the feed-rate potentiometer during probing.
