15.4 DATUM FROM INSIDE OF
RECTANGLE (Cycle 410,
DIN/ISO: G410)
Cycle run
Touch Probe Cycle 410 finds the center of a rectangular pocket and
defines its center 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 285) 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).
3 Then the touch probe moves either paraxially at the measuring
height or linearly at the clearance height to the next starting point
2 and probes the second touch point.
4 The TNC positions the probe to starting point
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 314).
6 If desired, the TNC subsequently measures the datum in the touch
probe axis in a separate probing and saves the actual values in the
following Q parameters.
Parameter number Meaning

Q152 Actual value of center in minor axis
Q154 Actual value of length in the reference
axis
