MEASURE BOLT HOLE CIRCLE (touch probe
cycle 430, ISO: G430)

Touch probe cycle 430 finds the center and diameter of a bolt hole
circle by probing three holes. If you define the corresponding tolerance
values in the cycle, the TNC makes a nominal-to-actual value
comparison and saves the deviation in system parameters.

1

Following the positioning logic (see “Running touch probe cycles”
on page 7), the
TNC positions the touch probe at rapid traverse
(value from MP6150 or MP6361) to the point entered as center of
the first hole

1

.

2

Then the probe moves to the entered measuring height and
probes four points to find the first hole center.

3

The touch probe returns to the clearance height and then to the
position entered as center of the second hole

2

.

4

The TNC moves the touch probe to the entered measuring height
and probes four points to find the second hole center.

5

The touch probe returns to the clearance height and then to the
position entered as center of the third hole

3

.

6

The TNC moves the touch probe to the entered measuring height
and probes four points to find the third hole center.

7

Finally the TNC returns the touch probe to the clearance height and
saves the actual values and the deviations in the following
Q parameters:

Parameter number

Meaning

Q151

Actual value of center in reference axis

Q152

Actual value of center in minor axis

Q153

Actual value of bolt hole circle diameter

Q161

Deviation from center of reference axis

Q162

Deviation from center of minor axis

Q163

Deviation of bolt hole circle diameter

Before programming, note the following:

Before a cycle definition you must have programmed a
tool call to define the touch probe axis.
