DATUM CIRCLE CENTER (touch probe cycle 416,
DIN/ISO: G416)
Touch probe cycle 416 finds the center of a bolt hole circle and defines
its center as datum. If desired, the TNC can also enter the coordinates
into a datum table or the preset table.
1 The TNC positions the touch probe at rapid traverse (value from
column FMAX) and with positioning logic (see “Running touch
probe cycles” on page 21) to the point entered as center of the first
hole
1 .
2 Then the probe moves to the entered measuring height and
probes four points to find the first hole center.
3 The touch probe returns to the clearance height and then to the
position entered as center of the second hole
2 .
4 The TNC moves the touch probe to the entered measuring height
and probes four points to find the second hole center.
5 The touch probe returns to the clearance height and then to the
position entered as center of the third hole
3 .
6 The TNC moves the touch probe to the entered measuring height
and probes four points to find the third hole center.
7 Finally the TNC returns the touch probe to the clearance height and
processes the determined datum depending on the cycle
parameters Q303 and Q305 (see “Saving the calculated datum”
on page 64) and saves the actual values in the Q parameters listed
below
8 If desired, the TNC subsequently measures the datum in the touch
probe axis in a separate probing.

Before programming, note the following
Before a cycle definition you must have programmed a
tool call to define the touch probe axis.
