Parameters
The touch probe must be configured in addition to supplying the input parameters described here. For more information on this function, see the section Configuration file.
The (calibrated) parameters of the touch probe (radius, length and offset in X and Y directions) are specified via the tool parameters.
Required input parameters
Input parameters | Description |
@P4 | Measurement path in the X axis (incremental) Positive value, the touch probe moves in positive X direction Negative value, the touch probe moves in negative X direction |
@P5 | Measurement path in the Y axis (incremental) Positive value, the touch probe moves in positive Y direction Negative value, the touch probe moves in negative Y direction |
@P17 | Pre-position in the X axis (absolute), position of measuring point 1 |
@P18 | Pre-position in the Y axis (absolute), position of measuring point 1 |
@P41 | Relative path distance along X axis from measuring point 1 to measuring point 2 |
@P42 | Relative path distance along X axis from measuring point 2 to measuring point 3 |
@P43 | Relative path distance along Y axis from measuring point 2 to measuring point 3 |
Optional input parameters
Input parameters | Description |
@P7 | Zero offset to be described (TCS) G159=1 to G159=9 and G54 to G59 Input without address "G159=" or "G" If not specified, then measurement only but no write function Only permitted when G53 is active at cycle call. |
@P9 | Shift the measurement result along the X axis |
@P10 | Shift the measurement result along the Y axis |
@P12 | Reference angle [degrees] (default 0) |
Difference between outside and inside corners
An outside corner is traversed when
- @P5 > 0 and @P43 > 0, or
- @P5 < 0 and @P43 < 0.
An inside corner is traversed when
- @P5 > 0 and @P43 < 0, or
- @P5 < 0 and @P43 > 0.
It is recommended using the Syntax check.to verify whether the input parameters have been correctly assigned.
