BASIC ROTATION (touch probe cycle 400,
DIN/ISO: G400)
Touch probe cycle 400 determines a workpiece misalignment by
measuring two points, which must lie on a straight surface. With the
basic rotation function the TNC compensates the measured value
(See also \gCompensating Workpiece Misalignment” on page 32).
1 The TNC positions the touch probe to the starting points at rapid
traverse (value from FMAX column) following the positioning logic
(see “Running touch probe cycles” on page 21) to the
programmed starting point
1 . The TNC offsets the touch probe by
the safety clearance in the direction opposite the defined traverse
direction.
2 Then the touch probe moves to the entered measuring height and
probes the first touch point at the probing feed rate (column F).
3 Then the touch probe moves to the next starting position 2 and
probes the second position.
4 The TNC returns the touch probe to the clearance height and
performs the basic rotation.

Before programming, note the following
Before a cycle definition you must have programmed a
tool call to define the touch probe axis.
The TNC will reset an active basic rotation at the beginning
of the cycle.
