TNC 360 9 Touch Probe 4-151
9 Touch Probe
The 3-D TS Touch Probes by HEIDENHAIN are available in two versions:
- TS 120 with cable transmission and integrated interface electronics,
- TS 511 with infrared transmission of the switch signal and connected by a separate interface
electronics unit (APE).
The chapter "Mounting and electrical installation" contains instructions for connecting the touch
probes.
9.1 Interfacing the touch probe
Machine parameter MP6010 is used to select either touch probe TS 120 or TS 511. The machine
tool manufacturer must ensure that the spindle is interlocked when the touch probe is in use.
The touch probe can be controlled either with the probing cycles in the "Manual" and "Electronic
Handwheel" modes or by the "Touch Probe" function in the NC program (see TNC 360 User's
Manual). The touch probe is interfaced to the measuring conditions using machine parameters
MP6120 to MP6150.
