Cycle run
Touch Probe Cycle 424 finds the center, length and width of a
rectangular stud. If you define the corresponding tolerance values in
the cycle, the TNC makes a nominal-to-actual value comparison and
saves the deviation value in system parameters.
1 The TNC positions the touch probe at rapid traverse (value from
FMAX column) following the positioning logic (see “Executing
touch probe cycles” on page 285) to the starting point
1 . The TNC
calculates the touch points from the data in the cycle and the
safety clearance from the SET_UP column of the touch probe
table.
2 Then the touch probe moves to the entered measuring height and
probes the first touch point at the probing feed rate (column F).
3 Then the touch probe moves either paraxially at the measuring
height or linearly at the clearance height to the next starting point
2 and probes the second touch point.
4 The TNC positions the probe to starting point 3 and then to starting
point 4 to probe the third and fourth touch points.
5 Finally the TNC returns the touch probe to the clearance height and
saves the actual values and the deviations in the following
