Calibrate probe - radius on edge (CYCLE976)

Function
With this measuring method, a workpiece probe can be calibrated in an axis and the direction
selected by the user at a reference surface perpendicular to this. This can be done, for example,
on a workpiece.
The determined trigger point is taken into the addressed calibration data field.
Measuring principle
The probe approaches the reference surface in the selected axis and direction.
The determined calibration value (trigger point + position deviation) and probe ball radius are
transferred into the addressed calibration data fields.

Preconditions
● The probe must be active as tool.
● Tool type of the probe:
– 3D multi probe (type 710)
– Mono probe (type 712)
– Star-type probe (type 714)
– L probe (type 713)
Starting position before the measurement
The probe is positioned in the measuring height, approximately at the distance of the
measurement path (DFA) opposite to the edge.
