Description
2.6 Probes that can be used
Workpiece probe types
The following workpiece measuring probe types – as well as a calibration tool for calibrating
tool probes – are provided in the tool management:
Figure 2-4
Tool data from probes
The probes differ as a result of the tool type and their special attributes, e.g. switching directions.
A probe can encompass several tool types. For this purpose, several cutting edges (D1, D2, ...)
should be created for the probe.
Example: Multi probe with a boom
D1
D2
The user must take into account the geometry of the probe when pre-positioning. To do this,
you can read out individual tool data in the user program:
Example:
IF (($P_TOOLNO>0) AND ($P_TOOL>0))
ENDIF
Correction angle
"The probe is aligned in the +X direction using tool parameter "correction angle" .
