Page 36: Measurement Principle
Description 2.8 Measurement principle Measurement principle Flying measurement The principle of "flying measurement" is implemented in the SINUMERIK control. The probe signal is processed directly on the NC so that the delay when acquiring measured values is minimal. This permits a higher measuring speed for the prescribed measuring precision and time needed for measuring is reduced.
Page 37 Description 2.8 Measurement principle Measurement operation sequence using the example set edge (CYCLE978) Figure 2-8 Measurement operation sequence, example set edge (CYCLE978) The sequence is described using the measuring version, set edge (CYCLE978). The sequence is essentially the same for the other measuring cycles. The starting position for the measuring procedure is the position DFA in front of the specified set position (expected contour).
Page 38 Description 2.8 Measurement principle The resulting maximum measuring position is available in the result parameters _OVR[ ] and _OVI[ ] of the measuring cycle. At the instant the switching signal is output by the probe, the current actual position is stored internally "on-the-fly"...
Page 39 Description 2.8 Measurement principle The deceleration rate of the axis must also be taken into account. Together they produce an axis-specific velocity-dependent deceleration distance. The Kv factor is the axis MD 32200 $MA_POSCTRL_GAIN. The maximum axis acceleration / deceleration rate a is saved in axis MD 32300 $MA_MAX_AX_ACCEL .

Description 2.10 Parameters for checking the measurement result and offset 2.10 Parameters for checking the measurement result and offset For constant deviations not subject to a trend, the dimensional deviation measured can be compensated by an empirical value in certain measuring variants. For other compensations resulting from dimensional deviations, symmetrical tolerance bands are assigned to the set dimension which result in different responses.

Page 359: Glossary
Glossary Actual/set difference Difference between measured and expected value. Asynchronous subroutine Part program that can be started asynchronously to (independently of) the current program status using an interrupt signal (e.g. "Rapid NC input" signal). Calibration When calibrating, the trigger points of the probe are identified and saved in the cycle setting data from SD 54600.
Page 360 Glossary Dimension difference check Is a tolerance parameter, and when a limit (S_DIF) is reached the tool is probably worn and must be replaced. The dimension difference check has no effect on generation of the compensation value. Empirical value The empirical values are used to suppress constant dimensional deviations that are not subject to a trend.
Page 361 Glossary Measure workpiece For workpiece measurement, a probe is moved up to the clamped workpiece in the same way as a tool. The flexibility of measuring cycles makes it possible to perform nearly all measurements required on a milling or turning machine. Measurement path Measurement path DFA defines the distance between the starting position and the expected switching position (setpoint) of the probe.
Page 362 Glossary Mono probe A mono(directional) probe is a probe that can only deflect in one direction. It can only be used for workpiece measurement on milling machines and machining centers with slight limitations. Multi probe A multi(directional) probe is one that can deflect in three dimensions. Multiple measurement at the same location Parameter S_NMSP can be used to determine the number of measurements at the same point.
Page 363 Glossary Probe type To measure tool and workpiece dimensions, an electronic touch-trigger probe is required that provides a signal change (edge) when deflected. Probes are distinguished according to the number of measuring directions. ● Multi-directional (3D, multi probe) ● Mono-directional (mono probe) Reference groove A groove located in the working area (permanent feature of the machine) whose precise position is known and that can be used to calibrate workpiece probes.
Page 364 Glossary Upper tolerance limit When measuring a dimensional deviation as the upper tolerance limit (S_TU) ranging between "2/3 tolerance of workpiece" and "Dimensional difference control", this is regarded 100% as tool offset. The previous average value is deleted. Weighting factor for averaging The weighting factor k can be applied to allow different weighting to be given to an individual measurement.
