obes (Option KinematicsOpt)
Mode (0=Check/1=Measure)
Q406: Specify whether
the TNC should check or optimize the active
kinematics:
0: Check the active machine kinematics. The TNC
measures the kinematics in the axes you have
defined, but it does not make any changes to it. The
TNC displays the results of measurement in a
measurement log
1: Optimize the active machine kinematics. The TNC
measures and optimizes the kinematics in the axes
you have defined.
Exact calibration sphere radius
Q407: Enter the
exact radius of the calibrating ball used
Setup clearance
Q320 (incremental): Additional
distance between measuring point and ball tip. Q320
is added to MP6140.
Retraction height
Q408 (absolute):
Input 0:
Do not move to any retraction height. The TNC
moves to the next measuring position in the axis to
be measured. Not allowed for Hirth axes! The TNC
moves to the first measuring position in the series
A, the B, the then C
Input >0:
Retraction height in the untilted workpiece
coordinate system to which the TNC positions
before a rotary axis positioning in the spindle axis.
Also, the TNC moves the touch probe in the
working plane to the datum. The probe monitoring
is not active in this mode. Define the positioning
velocity in parameter Q253.
Feed rate for pre-positioning
Q253: Traversing
speed of the tool during positioning in mm/min.
Reference angle
Q380 (absolute): Reference angle
(basic rotation) for measuring the measuring points in
the active workpiece coordinate system. Defining a
reference angle can considerably enlarge the
measuring range of an axis
