Measuring variants
3.3 Measure workpiece (milling)
After the measurement, at suitable machines where orientation transformation (swiveling,
TRAORI) is set up, the probe can be aligned perpendicular on the measuring plane (machining
plane).
● Swiveling: See the Programming Manual
Section "Swiveling - CYCLE800".
● TRAORI
G0 C3=1 ;align to tool axis Z for G17
Measuring principle
The "Align plane" measuring variant is performed according to the 2-angle measurement
principle:
The angular offsets are in the rotary part of the geometry axes for a workpiece with a three-
dimensional inclined plane.

Note
Maximum measured angle
The CYCLE998 measuring cycle is capable of measuring a maximum angle of -45 ... +45
degrees.
Requirements
● The probe must be called as a tool with a tool length compensation.
● Tool type of the probe:
– 3D multi probe (type 710)
– Mono probe (type 712)
