HEIDENHAIN ITNC 530 - CYCLE PROGRAMMING User Manual page 417

Please note while programming:
Before a cycle definition you must have programmed a
tool call to define the touch probe axis.
If the dimensions of the pocket and the safety clearance
do not permit pre-positioning in the proximity of the touch
points, the TNC always starts probing from the center of
the pocket. In this case the touch probe does not return to
the clearance height between the four measuring points.
Cycle parameters
U Center in 1st axis Q273 (absolute): Center of the

Measuring height in the touch probe axis
Q261 (absolute): Coordinate of the ball tip
