Mode (SINUMERIK 840 SW2)

General

Automatic workpiece measurement in JOG mode is an extended version of the Siemens
"Inprocess Measurement" cycles for SINUMERIK. With the JOG measuring function the
distance between machine zero and the reference point (workpiece zero) can be determined
and then stored with the softkeys "STORE ZO" and "STORE PRESET".
The difference between these cycles and conventional cycles lies in the way they are operated
and parameterized.
Emphasis has been placed on implementing simple cycles which are easy to operate. Almost
every type of workpiece found in practice is available to the operator in the various selection
menus. Workpieces can be measured in the machining planes XY, ZX or YZ defined by G17,
G18, G19.
Only the most essential parameters have to be set, such as:
• Drilling axis selection
• Number of probe
• Number of D offset in which probe geometry is entered
• Measuring speed
• Number of measurement repetitions
• Measurement path
• Number of zero offset
• Setpoint or estimated setpoint of several workpiece dimensions.
All intermediate positions are approached at the entered max. axis velocity in percent (NC MD
280*) (if MDC 800.0=0 collision monitoring deactivated) or, if collision monitoring is active
(MDC 800.0=1), at the positioning velocity entered in MDC 5.
