Touch probe detection

"Touch probe" (TP) in general means quick detection of a position by a quick sensor if the pulse

duration of the sensor signal is too short to be detected by a "normal" digital input (scanning time:

1 ms).
Moreover, touch probe requires exact detection of the position. Here, the difference in position

between the 1 ms position detection and the touch probe signal is considered as correction value.

Applications:

• Precise approach of a position at a previously detected signal mark
• High-precision traversing of a section starting at a previously detected signal mark
• Safe detection of signal marks with very short signal edges
• Measurement of a high-precision position at a previously detected signal mark
• Homing to touch probe (homing signal)
• Relative residual path positioning (traversing of a section starting at signal mark)
• Absolute positioning to target position, activated by a safely detected signal mark
• Position measurement of a distance between 2 signal marks
