MEASURE KINEMATICS (touch probe cycle 451,
DIN/ISO: G451, option)
The touch probe cycle 451 enables you to check and, if required,
optimize the kinematics of your machine. Use the 3-D TS touch probe
to measure any calibration ball that you have attached to the machine
table.
The TNC evaluates the static tilting accuracy. The software minimizes
the spatial error arising from the tilting movements and, at the end of
the measurement process, automatically saves the machine
geometry in the respective machine constants of the kinematics table.
1 Clamp the calibration ball and check for potential collisions
2 In the Manual operating mode, set the reference point in the ball
center
3 In the touch probe axis, manually position the touch probe over the
calibration ball, and in the working plane, over the ball center
4 Select the Program Run mode and start the calibration program
5 The TNC automatically measures all three axes successively in the
resolution you defined
