Cycle run
Touch Probe Cycle 1 measures any position on the workpiece in any
direction.
1
The touch probe moves at rapid traverse (value from MP6150) to
the starting position 1 programmed in the cycle.
2 Then the touch probe approaches the workpiece at the feed rate
assigned in MP6120. During probing, the TNC moves
simultaneously in 2 axes (depending on the probing angle). The
probing direction is defined by the polar angle entered in the cycle.
3 After the TNC has saved the position, the probe returns to the
starting point. The TNC also stores the coordinates of the touch
probe position at the time of the triggering signal in parameters
Q115 to Q119.

Danger of collision!
Pre-position the touch probe in order to avoid a collision
when the programmed pre-positioning point is
approached.
The probing axis defined in the cycle specifies the probing
plane:
 Probing axis X: X/Y plane
 Probing axis Y: Y/Z plane
 Probing axis Z: Z/X plane
