Overview
When running touch probe cycles, Cycle 8 MIRROR
IMAGE, Cycle 11 SCALING and Cycle 26 AXIS-
SPECIFIC SCALING must not be active.
HEIDENHAIN only warrants the function of the touch
probe 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.
Refer to your machine manual.
The TNC offers twelve cycles for automatically finding reference
points and handling them as follows:
Setting the determined values directly as display values
Entering the determined values in the preset table
Entering the determined values in a datum table
