Cycle run
Touch Probe Cycle 425 measures the position and width of a slot (or
pocket). 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 a system parameter.
1 Following the positioning logic (see “Executing touch probe
cycles” on page 306), the TNC positions the touch probe to the
starting point
1 at rapid traverse (value from MP6150 or MP6361).
The TNC calculates the probe starting points from the data in the
cycle and the safety clearance from MP6140.
2 Then the touch probe moves to the entered measuring height and
probes the first touch point at the probing feed rate (MP6120 or
MP6360). 1. The first probing is always in the positive direction of
the programmed axis.
3 If you enter an offset for the second measurement, the TNC then
moves the touch probe (if required, at clearance height) to the next
starting point
2 and probes the second touch point. If the nominal
length is large, the TNC moves the touch probe to the secound
touch point at rapid traverse. If you do not enter an offset, the TNC
measures the width in the exact opposite direction.
4 Finally the TNC returns the touch probe to the clearance height and
saves the actual values and the deviation in the following Q
parameters:

Q156 Actual value of measured length
Q157 Actual value of the centerline
Q166 Deviation of the measured length
Before a cycle definition you must have programmed a
tool call to define the touch probe axis.
