Inside/Outside Web Finding
 An inside Web is a slot. An outside Web is a standing rib. Webs can
only be measured in the X- or Y-axis.
 Calibrate the work probe at least once before trying to use this cycle.
 A preliminary tool-length offset must be set by eye for the work
probe. The tool offset, and work coordinate must be active before
using this cycle in a program. See Section 4, "Tool-Length Offsets"
on page 73.
 The G145 Inside or Outside Web Finding Cycle can be run from
within a program or from the Manual Data Input Mode.
Field Code Description
Side Q Inside or Outside.
0 = Inside Hole 1 = Outside Boss
(Required)
Length X Estimated X width of Web if measuring in
the X-axis. X or Y must be specified; but
only one, not both.
Width Y Estimated Y width of Web if measuring in
the Y-axis. X or Y must be specified; but
only one, not both.
Top H If set to 1, the cycle finds the top of the part
before finding center of Web. If Q
parameter is set to 1, H is forced to 1 as
well; otherwise, the Default is: 0.
(Optional)
DistDown E The distance to go down from the top of
part to find X or Y coordinate of the center.
This is only used if H parameter is set to 1.
Without any E value, the cycle brings the
probe stylus center down past the top of
the part after finding the top, 0.1" (2.54
mm). (Optional)
DistBack V Specifies the distance away from the edge
for the probe to fast feed to before trying to
find it. Default is: 0.1" (2.54 mm) if not set.
(Optional)
DistInX A The distance from the starting point to
move in the X-axis to find the top of the
part. The default, if Q is not set or set to 0,
is 0.1" beyond the edge of the web. If Q is
set to 1, the default is the current probe
position. (Optional)
