8. Measure workpiece

Apply "Set edge Z" to define the offset in Z.

9. Start part program to remachine under AUTO.

Start the program with swivel zero.

Second example

Measuring workpieces in swiveled states. The workpiece is to be probed in the X direction

even though the probe cannot approach the workpiece in the X direction because of an

obstructing edge (e.g. due to clamping elements). However, with a swivel movement, the

measurement in the X direction can be replaced by a measurement in the Z direction.

1. Clamp the workpiece.

Load the probe and activate the desired work offset.

3. Manual swivel

With "direct" swiveling enter the required rotary axis positions or with "axis by axis" the

required rotations (e.g. Y=-90) and <CYCLE START>.

4. Measure workpiece

Apply "Set edge Z": The measured offset in Z is converted and entered as an X value in

the chosen work offset.

Setting the edge

The workpiece lies parallel to the coordinate system on the work table. You measure one

reference point in one of the axes (X, Y, Z).

You can insert any tool in the spindle for scratching when measuring the workpiece zero

An electronic workpiece probe is inserted in the spindle and activated when measuring the

workpiece zero automatically.
