13.2 Programming Digitizing Cycles
ú Press the TOUCH PROBE key.
ú Use soft keys to select the desired digitizing cycle
ú Answer the dialog questions on the TNC screen: Enter the
appropriate values with the keyboard and confirm each input with
the ENT key. When all the required data have been entered, the
TNC terminates the cycle definition automatically. For information
on the individual input parameters refer to the cycle descriptions
in this chapter.
Defining the digitizing range
Cycle 5 RANGE is available for defining the digitizing range. This
cycle defines a cuboid range within which the touch probe scans
the contour.
Similar to defining the workpiece blank, the digitizing range is
programmed by entering the MIN and MAX point coordinates of the
three main axes X, Y and Z (see figure at right).
ú PGM Name digitizing data: Enter the name of the file in which the
digitizing data is to be stored.
ú TCH PROBE axis: Enter the touch probe axis.
ú Min. point range: Lowest coordinates in the range to be digitized.
ú Max. point range: Highest coordinates in the range to be
digitized.
ú Clearance height: Position in probe axis at which the stylus cannot
collide with the model.
