HEIDENHAIN only gives warranty for the function of
the probing cycles if HEIDENHAIN touch probes are
used.
You can identify the intersection of two straight lines
by holes or studs and set this as the datum. For each
straight line however, probing must only be with two
identical touch probe functions (e.g. two holes).
The "Corner as datum" probing cycle identifies the angle and
intersection of two straight lines. In addition to datum setting, the
cycle can also activate a basic rotation. The TNC has two soft keys
for you to decide which straight line you wish to use for this. The
soft key
ROT 1 activates the angle of the first straight line as basic
rotation and the soft key
ROT 2 the angle of the second straight
line.
If you wish to activate the basic rotation in the cycle, you must
always do this before datum setting. After you set a datum or write
to a zero point or preset table the
ROT 1 and ROT 2 soft keys are
no longer displayed.
