n To program the use of a probing electrode
Select the probing function: Press the TOUCH
PROBE key.
To select the touch probe functions:
Enter the number of the Q parameter that you want
to assign the coordinate to, e.g. Q5.
Enter the probing axis for the coordinate, e.g. X.
Select the probing direction and confirm it.
Enter all coordinates of the pre-positioning point of
the electrode, e.g. X = 5 mm, Y = 1 mm, Z = –5 mm.
Concludes your input.

„ Pre-position the electrode manually to avoid a collision
when the programmed pre-positioning point is
approached.
„ You can also use the programmable probing function
when the ”Tilt working plane” function is active. The
TNC then acknowledges the coordinate of the touch
point in the tilted coordinate system.
