Cycle run
Touch Probe Cycle 413 finds the center of a circular stud and defines 
it as datum. If desired, the TNC can also enter the coordinates into a 
datum table or the preset table.
1
The TNC positions the touch probe at rapid traverse (value from 
FMAX
column) following the positioning logic (see "Executing touch
probe cycles" on page 373) to the starting point
1
. The TNC
calculates the touch points from the data in the cycle and the 
safety clearance from the SET_UP column of the touch probe table.
2
Then the touch probe moves to the entered measuring height and 
probes the first touch point at the probing feed rate (column F). The 
TNC derives the probing direction automatically from the 
programmed starting angle.
3
Then the touch probe moves in a circular arc either at measuring 
height or at clearance height to the next starting point 
2
and probes
the second touch point.
4
The TNC positions the probe to starting point
3
and then to starting
point
4
to probe the third and fourth touch points.
5
Finally the TNC returns the touch probe to the clearance height and 
processes the determined datum depending on the cycle 
parameters Q303 and Q305 (see "Saving the calculated datum" on 
page 402) and saves the actual values in the Q parameters listed 
below.
6
If desired, the TNC subsequently measures the datum in the touch 
probe axis in a separate probing.
