Please note while programming:
Note that all functions for tilting in the working
plane are reset.
M128 and FUNCTION TCPM are
deactivated.
Position the calibration sphere on the machine
table so that there can be no collisions during the
measuring process.
Before defining the cycle you must set the
datum in the center of the calibration sphere and
activate it, or you define the input parameter Q431
correspondingly to 1 or 3.
If machine parameter mStrobeRotAxPos is defined
as not equal –1 (M function positions the rotary axis),
then only start a measurement when all rotary axes
are at 0°.
For the positioning feed rate when moving to the
probing height in the touch probe axis, the TNC uses
the value from cycle parameter
Q253 or the
FMAX
value, whichever is smaller. The TNC always moves
the rotary axes at positioning feed rate
Q253, while
the probe monitoring is inactive.
If the kinematic data attained in the Optimize
mode are greater than the permissible limit
(
maxModification ), the TNC shows a warning. Then
you have to confirm acceptance of the attained value
by pressing NC start.
Note that a change in the kinematics always changes
the preset as well. After an optimization, reset the
preset.
In every probing process the TNC first measures
the radius of the calibration sphere. If the measured
sphere radius differs from the entered sphere radius
by more than you have defined in machine parameter
maxDevCalBall the TNC shows an error message
and ends the measurement.
If you interrupt the cycle during the measurement,
the kinematic data might no longer be in the original
condition. Save the active kinematic configuration
before an optimization with Cycle 450, so that in
case of an emergency the most recently active
kinematic configuration can be restored.
Programming in inches: The TNC always records the
log data and results of measurement in millimeters.
The TNC ignores cycle definition data that applies to
inactive axes.
