15.3 RIDGE CENTER REF PT

(Cycle 409, DIN/ISO: G409,
FCL 3 function)
Cycle run
Touch Probe Cycle 409 finds the center of a ridge and defines its
center as datum. If desired, the TNC can also enter the coordinates
into a datum table or the preset table.
1 Following the positioning logic (see "Executing touch probe
cycles" on page 318), the TNC positions the touch probe to the
probe starting point 1 at rapid traverse (value from MP6150). The
TNC calculates the probe starting points from the data in the cycle
and the safety clearance from MP6140.
2 Then the touch probe moves to the entered measuring height and
probes the first touch point at the probing feed rate (MP6120).
3 Then the touch probe moves at clearance height to the next touch
point 2 and probes the second touch point.
4 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 344) and saves the actual values in the Q parameters
listed below.
5 If desired, the TNC subsequently measures the datum in the touch
probe axis in a separate probing.
Parameter number Meaning
Q166 Actual value of measured ridge width
Q157 Actual value of the centerline
Please note while programming:
Danger of collision!
To prevent a collision between touch probe and
workpiece, enter a high estimate for the ridge width.
Before a cycle definition you must have programmed a
tool call to define the touch probe axis.
