undamentals
16.1 Fundamentals
Overview
The TNC offers twelve cycles for measuring workpieces
automatically.
When running touch probe cycles, Cycle 8 MIRROR
IMAGE, Cycle 11 SCALING FACTOR and Cycle 26 AXIS-
SPECIFIC SCALING must not be active.
HEIDENHAIN only gives warranty for the function of the
probing cycles if HEIDENHAIN touch probes are used.
The TNC must be specially prepared by the machine tool
builder for the use of a 3-D touch probe.
The touch probe cycles are available only with the Touch
probe function software option (option number #17).
