Overview

Task

This instruction describes:

• the automatic calibration of the touch probe.

Possible applications

The characteristic touch probe parameters are determined by measuring geometric objects with known properties.

The determining parameters include:

• the length of the touch probe,
• the radius of the touch probe sphere
• and the shift of the touch probe along the X and Y axes
  

The various output variables are defined in greater detail in the subsections for each of the cycles.

Programming

The cycles are called with the L CYCLE[..] function and the required parameters are taken directly from the NC program.
A more detailed description of the call is provided in the subsections for each of the cycles.
