n 10.8 Measuring with a probing
electrode during program run
Introduction
You can use a probing electrode to probe positions on the workpiece
during program run.
Applications:
„ Measuring differences in the height of cast surfaces
„
Tolerance checking during machining
To program the use of a probing electrode, press the TOUCH PROBE
key.
You pre-position the electrode to automatically probe the desired
position. The coordinate measured for the probe point is stored in a
Q parameter.
The TNC interrupts the probing process if the electrode does not reach
the workpiece within a certain distance (programmed in MP6130).
The C axis can also be defined as the electrode axis.
