Setup

Probe path screen

CNC probing parameters are specified in the Probe

path screen to control CNC probing and non-probing

velocities as well as data point approach and search

distances during program execution.

Probing and non-probing velocities

Transitions from one target edge to the next are made

at relatively high non-probing velocities. When the

approach distance from the edge is reached, the system

velocity 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 un-

til 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 veloci-

ties. However, since the system is ac-

curate at higher velocities, the major

velocity consideration is related to the torque required to perform high acceleration and decelera-

tion moves, and the resulting potential for measurement errors.

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.
