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.
