4.6 Measuring the workpiece zero

Entering the calibration feedrate

The actual calibration feedrate can be entered into this entry field. The calibration feedrate is

stored in the calibration data and is used for the measurements.

If the entry field does not exist, then the calibration feedrate from a central parameter is used.

Selecting the work offset as basis for the measurement

A work offset can be selected as measurement basis to flexibly adapt to the measuring tasks.

If the work offset selection as measurement basis is not activated, then the measurement

refers to the currently active work offset.

Measuring sequence

To obtain the desired measurement results, you must keep to the measuring point sequence

shown in the help displays.

You can reject measuring points and then measure them again. This is done by pressing the

softkey that is currently active (measured value).

Measuring only

If you "only" want to measure the workpiece zero, the measured values are calculated and

displayed without changing the coordinate system.

You usually store the measured workpiece zero in a work offset. The HMI allows rotations and

offsets to be measured.

The measurement values for the offsets are stored in the coarse offset and the relevant fine

offsets are deleted. If the zero point is stored in a non-active work offset, an activation window

is displayed in which you can activate this work offset directly.

Alignment can be performed either by rotating the coordinate system or by rotating the

workpiece with a rotary axis. If your machine is equipped with two rotary axes and the "swivel"

function is set up, you can also align an inclined plane.
