measurement version.
3. Traverse the workpiece probe to approximately the center above the
rectangular pocket or the hole or for several, above the first hole to be
measured.
4. Specify whether you want "Measurement only" or in which work offset
you want to store the zero point.
• In field "L" enter the length (1st axis of the working plane) and in
5.
"W" (2nd axis of the working plane) enter the width of the pocket, if
the measuring stroke would not reach the edges.
- OR -
• Enter the approximate diameter into "Øhole".
• Enter an angle in "Probe angle".
This is how you limit the area in which rapid traverse can be used. If
no diameter is entered, traversing starts from the starting point at
measurement feedrate.
With the probe angle you can turn the traversing direction of the probe
through any angle.
