Types of workpiece measurement

7.5.3.1

Measurement of an edge (measurement type 1, 2, 3)

Measurement of an x edge ($AC_MEAS_TYPE = 1)
The edge of a clamped workpiece is measured by approaching this edge with a known tool.
Figure 7-1
The values of the following variables are evaluated for measurement type 1:
Input variable
$AC_MEAS_VALID
$AA_MEAS_POINT1[axis]
$AA_MEAS_SETPOINT[axis]
$AC_MEAS_DIR_APPROACH
$AC_MEAS_ACT_PLANE
$AC_MEAS_FINE_TRANS
$AC_MEAS_FRAME_SELECT
$AC_MEAS_T_NUMBER
$AC_MEAS_D_NUMBER
$AC_MEAS_TYPE
* optional
The following output variables are written for measurement type 1:
Output variable
$AC_MEAS_FRAME
$AC_MEAS_RESULTS[0]

x edge
Meaning
Validity bits for input variables
Measuring point 1 for all channel axes
Setpoint position of x edge *
0: +x, 1: -x
Without specification, calculation is undertaken with the
active plane,
the radius of the tool is used only in G17 and G18 *
0: Coarse offset, 1: Fine offset
Calculated as additive frame unless otherwise specified *
Calculated as active T unless otherwise specified (T0) *
Calculated as active D unless otherwise specified (D0) *
