Test Point - HEIDENHAIN iTNC 530 HSCI Technical Manual

Test point

July 2013
You use probing cycles of the type Test point to define probing points in the
fixture kinematics, which are used after the fixture has been inserted in order
to verify the position and orientation of the fixture. If the fixture kinematics
contains test points, then once the fixture has been inserted and its position
and orientation ascertained, the CREATE TEST PROGRAM soft key will be
offered to the operator. It is used to create a test program that automatically
probes all test points in order to check the position and orientation of the
fixture.
Attention
HEIDENHAIN recommends assigning test points to all fixture kinematics.
In this way, the operator can check the position and orientation of the
fixture.

Description
Designation or name of the object, used in
the fixture description.
Defines a number variable, whose value
must be entered when inserting the
workpiece via the control's user interface.
The value can be changed by the operator
without FixtureWizard and without
ascertaining the position and orientation of
the workpiece again (e.g., the distance
between jaws changes, but the vise
remains at the same position on the table).
Name for the probing cycle. The entry of a
name is mandatory for the creation of a
test program. It is used internally by the
test program.
Indication of the main axis for the probing
cycle.
Entry of the position at which the fixture is
to be probed.
For test points without function.
