AXIS AND DIRECTION OF APPROACH ?
Enter the approach direction, for example Y–.
STARTING PROBE AXIS AND DIRECTN?
Enter the starting direction, for example X+.
LIMIT IN NORMAL LINES DIRECTION ?
Enter the distance the probe is retracted, for example 0.5 mm.
LINE SPACING AND DIRECTION ?
Enter the line spacing, here 1 mm. The algebraic sign determines the
direction in which the probe moves to start the next contour line.
MAX. PROBE POINT INTERVAL ?
Enter the maximum probe point interval, for example 0.2 mm.
Resulting NC blocks:
TCH PROBE 7.0 CONTOUR LINES
TCH PROBE 7.1 TIME: 200 X+50 Y+0
TCH PROBE 7.2 ORDER Y–/X+
TCH PROBE 7.3 TRAVEL: 0.5 L.SPAC: –1 P.P. INT: 0.2
Before Cycle 7: CONTOUR LINES, the program must have a range defined in digitizing Cycle 5: RANGE.
