Suppressing touch probe monitoring: M141

Standard behavior
When the stylus is deflected, the TNC outputs an error message as

soon as you attempt to move a machine axis.

Behavior with M141
The TNC moves the machine axes even if the touch probe is

deflected. This function is required if you wish to write your own

measuring cycle in connection with measuring cycle 3 in order to

retract the stylus by means of a positioning block after it has been

deflected.

Effect
M141 is effective only in the block in which it is programmed.
M141 becomes effective at the start of block.

Danger of collision!

When dynamic collision monitoring (DCM) is active, the

TNC might move the tool only until it detects a collision

and, from there, complete the NC program without any

error message. This can result in tool paths different from

those programmed!

Danger of collision!

If you use M141, make sure that you retract the touch

probe in the correct direction.
M141 functions only for movements with straight-line

blocks.
