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

Set to zero after alignment

Q337: Definition of

whether the TNC should set the display of the C axis
to zero, or write the angular offset in column C of the
datum table:
0: Set display of C to 0
>0: Write the angular misalignment, including
algebraic sign, in the datum table. Line number =
value of Q337. If a C-axis shift is registered in the
datum table, the TNC adds the measured angular
misalignment.
