Calibrating workpiece probes

With cycle CYCLE976 a workpiece probe can be calibrated in a hole (calibration ring) or on a
surface for a particular axis and direction.
Result:
Probe switching point (trigger value), possibly an additional position deviation, active ball
diameter of probe

Workpiece measurement at one point

CYCLE978 permits measurement at one point of a surface.
The measuring point is approached paraxially in the active workpiece coordinate system.
Depending on the measuring variant, the result may influence the selected tool offset or zero
offset.
Workpiece measurement: Blank measurement
Result:
• Position
• Deviation
• Zero point offset
