15.5 DATUM FROM OUTSIDE OF
RECTANGLE (Cycle 411, DIN/
ISO: G411)
Cycle run
Touch Probe Cycle 411 finds the center of a rectangular stud 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
FMAX column) following the positioning logic (See "Executing
touch probe cycles", page 259) to the starting point
1 . The TNC
calculates the touch points from the data in the cycle and the
safety clearance from the
SET_UP column of the touch probe
table.
2 Then the touch probe moves to the entered measuring height
and runs the first probing process at the probing feed rate
(column
F).
3 Then the touch probe moves either paraxially at measuring
height or at clearance height to the next starting point 2 and
probes the second touch point.
4 The TNC positions the probe to starting point 3 and then to
starting point 4 to probe the third and fourth touch points.
5 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 "Characteristics common to
all touch probe cycles for datum setting", page 284)
6 If desired, the TNC subsequently measures the datum in the
touch probe axis in a separate probing and saves the actual
values in the following Q parameters.
Parameter number Meaning
Q151 Actual value of center in reference
axis
Q152 Actual value of center in minor axis
Q154 Actual value of length in the reference
axis
Q155 Actual value of length in the minor
axis
