Cycle run

Touch Probe Cycle 424 finds the center, length and width of a
rectangular stud. If you define the corresponding tolerance values
in the cycle, the TNC makes a nominal-to-actual value comparison
and saves the deviation value in system parameters.
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 The TNC positions the probe to starting point
4
starting point to probe the third and fourth touch points.
5 Finally the TNC returns the touch probe to the clearance height
and saves the actual values and the deviations in the following

Please note while programming:

Before a cycle definition you must have programmed
a tool call to define the touch probe axis.
