General

The length of the touch probe is defined up to the bottom of the touch probe sphere. The velocity-dependent delay between the fixed stop point of the touch probe sphere and the trigger point of the measurement is calculated in the diameter of the touch probe sphere. Calibration is also useful when the exact physical diameter of the touch probe sphere is known.

The SysCalibConfigTouchprobe.nc calibration file must be present and the corresponding parameters must be configured before the cycles are used (except for the calibration parameters to be identified), otherwise the cycles cannot run.

If no measuring signal is triggered during the measurement, the machine stops with the error message: "No workpiece detected, please check your measuring section“ P-ERR-13413.

If a measurement is detected during positioning, the machine stops with the error message: “Collision on positioning, please check your motion range”P-ERR-13414.

The measurement results are saved in V.CYC variables (output variables) and can be processed in the post-files. An overview of existing output variables is contained in each of the cycle sections.

Attention

Cycles which output the touch probe shift contain a spindle rotation and require a measurement with the rear of the touch probe. If this is not possible, the cycle may not be executed.
