mode:

HEIDENHAIN grants a warranty for the function of the
touch probe cycles only if HEIDENHAIN touch probes are

The TNC must be specially prepared by the machine tool
builder for the use of a 3-D touch probe. The machine
manual provides further information.

The touch probe cycles are available only with the Touch
