Cycle run

Touch Probe Cycle 408 finds the center of a slot and defines its
center as datum. If desired, the TNC can also enter the coordinates
into a datum table or the preset table.
1 Following the positioning logic, the TNC positions the touch
probe at rapid traverse (value from FMAX column) (see
"Executing touch probe cycles", page 294) to touch 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 runs the first probing process at the probing feed rate
(column F).
3 Then the touch probe moves either paraxially at measuring
height or at clearance height to the next starting point
probes the second touch point.
4 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 "") and saves the actual values
in the Q parameters listed below.
5 If desired, the TNC subsequently measures the datum in the
touch probe axis in a separate probing.
