CONTOUR LINES cycle with a rotary axis
Define the starting point in a linear axis and in a rotary axis. Define also
the order and direction of axis approach. If the starting point lies in the X
and C axes, then the touch probe oscillates in the X/C plane.
This method also works well for machines that have only two linear axes
(e.g. Z/X) and one rotary axis (e.g. C).
Example NC program blocks:
TCH PROBE 5.0 RANGE
TCH PROBE 5.1 PGMNAME: DATH
TCH PROBE 5.2 Z X–50 C+0 Z+0
TCH PROBE 5.3 X+50 C+360 Z+85
TCH PROBE 5.4 HEIGHT: 50
TCH PROBE 7.0 CONTOUR LINES
TCH PROBE 7.1 TIME: 250 X+80 C+0
TCH PROBE 7.2 ORDER: X–/C+
TCH PROBE 7.3 TRAVEL 0.3 L.SPAC: –0.5 PP.INT: 0.5
The direction of rotation defined behind ORDER is valid for all levels (lines). This ensures that the workpiece is then
machined consistently either in up-cut or in climb milling.
