HEIDENHAIN only gives warranty for the function of
the probing cycles if HEIDENHAIN touch probes are
used.
You can identify the intersection of two straight lines
by holes or studs and set this as the datum.
The "Corner as datum" probing cycle identifies the angle and
intersection of two straight lines. In addition to datum setting, the
cycle can also activate a basic rotation. The TNC has two soft keys
for you to determine the straight line that you wish to use for this.
The ROT 1 soft key activates the angle of the first straight line
as basic rotation and the ROT 2 soft key the angle of the second
straight line.
If you wish to activate the basic rotation in the cycle, you must
always do this before datum setting. After you set a datum and
write it into a datum table or preset table, the soft keys ROT 1 and
ROT 2 will no longer be displayed.
