16.11 MEASURE COORDINATE (Cycle 427,
DIN/ISO: G427)
Cycle run
Touch Probe Cycle 427 finds a coordinate in a selectable axis
and saves the value in a system parameter. If you define the
corresponding tolerance values in the cycle, the TNC makes a
nominal-to-actual value comparison and saves the deviation value in
system parameters.
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
offsets the touch probe by the safety clearance in the direction
opposite to the defined traverse direction.
2 Then the TNC positions the touch probe to the entered touch
point 1 in the working plane and measures the actual value in
the selected axis.
3 Finally the TNC returns the touch probe to the clearance
height and saves the measured coordinate in the following Q
parameter.
Parameter number Meaning
Q160 Measured coordinate
Please note while programming:
Before a cycle definition you must have programmed
a tool call to define the touch probe axis.
Cycle parameters
