Touch Probe Cycles: Automatic Tool Measurement
18.1 Fundamentals
Setting machine parameters
Before you start working with the measuring
cycles, check all machine parameters defined
in ProbeSettings > CfgToolMeasurement and
CfgTTRoundStylus.
The TNC uses the feed rate for probing defined in
probingFeed when measuring a tool at standstill.
When measuring a rotating tool, the TNC automatically calculates
the spindle speed and feed rate for probing.
The spindle speed is calculated as follows:
n = maxPeriphSpeedMeas / ( r • 0.0063) where
n:
maxPeriphSpeedMeas:
r:
The feed rate for probing is calculated from:
v = measuring tolerance • n with
