Cycle run
Touch Probe Cycle 426 measures the position and width of a ridge. 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 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 negative direction of
the programmed axis.
3 Then the touch probe moves at clearance height to the next
starting position and probes the second touch point.
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:

Before a cycle definition you must have programmed a
tool call to define the touch probe axis.
