CNC Setup
Probe path setup for optical edge detection systems
CNC probing parameters are specified in the Probe path
screen to control CNC probing and non-probing veloci-
ties as well as data point approach and search distances
during program execution.
Probing and non-probing velocities
Transitions from one target to the next are made at rela-
tively high non-probing velocities. When the approach
distance from the new edge is reached, the system veloc-
ity is reduced to the slower probing velocity. If the edge
is not recognized at the anticipated point, the system
continues searching at the probing velocity until the end
of the specified search distance is reached. If no edge is
recognized within the approach and search distances, an
error message is displayed.
NOTE
In general, the best probing accuracy is
obtained at lower probing velocities.
To specify probing and non-probing velocities:
1 Select the Probing Velocity % field and enter the probing velocity as a
percentage of the maximum CNC velocity.
2 Select the Non-probing Velocity % field and enter the non-probing
velocity as a percentage of the maximum CNC velocity.
