9.4 Digitizing with a Measuring Touch Probe
Defining the digitizing range in a specific shape
The digitizing range is defined by a contour point table generated in the
POSITIONING WITH MDI mode of operation (see page 5-75). You can
either transfer the individual points by teach-in programming or move the
touch probe around the model manually and have the TNC generate
them automatically.
Input
• PGM NAME DIGITIZING DATA ?
Name of the file in which the digitized data is to be stored
• TCH PROBE AXIS ?
Enter the touch probe axis
• PGM NAME RANGE DATA ?
Enter the name of the point table in which you have defined the range
• MIN. POINT TCH PROBE AXIS ?
Lowest probe axis coordinate in the DIGITIZING range
• MAX. POINT TCH PROBE AXIS ?
Highest probe axis coordinate in the DIGITIZING range
• CLEARANCE HEIGHT ?
Position in the probe axis at which the stylus cannot collide with the
model
