2.6 Measuring with a 3D Touch Probe

With a 3D touch probe you can determine

• position coordinates, and from them,
• dimensions and angles on the workpiece.

To find the coordinates of a position on an aligned workpiece:

Select the probing function with the soft key PROBING POS.

Move the touch probe to a position near the touch point.

X + X – Y + Y – Z + Z –

Select the probe direction and axis of the coordinate.

Probe the workpiece.

The TNC shows the coordinates of the touch point as DATUM.

Finding the coordinates of a corner in the working plane

Find the coordinates of the corner point as described under “Corner as
datum.” The TNC displays the coordinates of the probed corner as
DATUM.
