Traverse direction 1
Q267: Direction in which the
probe is to approach the workpiece:
-1: Negative traverse direction
+1: Positive traverse direction
Measuring height in the touch probe axis
Q261
(absolute): Coordinate of the ball tip center (= touch
point) in the touch probe axis in which the
measurement is to be made.
Setup clearance
Q320 (incremental): Additional
distance between measuring point and ball tip. Q320
is added to MP6140.
Clearance height
Q260 (absolute): Coordinate in the
touch probe axis at which no collision between tool
and workpiece (fixtures) can occur.
Traversing to clearance height
Q301: Definition of
how the touch probe is to move between the
measuring points:
0: Move at measuring height between measuring
points
1: Move at clearance height between measuring
points
Measuring log
Q281: Definition of whether the TNC is
to create a measuring log:
0: No measuring log
1: Generate measuring log: with the standard setting
the TNC saves the log file TCHPR420.TXT in the
directory in which your measuring program is also
stored.
2: Interrupt the program run and display the
measuring log on the screen. Resume program run
with NC Start.
If touch probe axis = measuring axis, then:
Set Q263 equal to Q265 if the angle about the A axis is to
be measured; Set Q263 not equal to Q265 if the angle is
to be measured about the B axis.
