Measuring workpiece/tool in JOG

2.7.1 Workpiece measuring in JOG

Once the machine has been powered up and the reference point approached, the axis positions
relate to the machine coordinate system. The zero offset signals to the control the position of the
workpiece in the machine coordinate system.

2.7.2 Workpiece measuring functions in JOG

Using the semi-automatic "Measuring in JOG", the required measuring function is selected on the
control using the appropriate softkeys. The displayed input screens are used for assigning the
function parameters. You must bring the tool or probe into a permissible starting position for the
measurement task concerned, e.g. using the traversing keys or handwheel (manual traversing).
The measuring functions permit the following functions:
Calibrating a probe
Detecting dimensions and position of workpiece geometries, e.g. in order to set up the
workpiece.
Requirements for using measuring functions
The probe is calibrated and active; the tool compensation is activated.
Practical measuring functions are provided to facilitate measurements
The measuring functions can be selected directly via the softkeys. The softkeys can be freely
assigned as of the third softkey and the assignments are based on the last selected cycles. After
selecting a measuring function, you can select additional measuring functions via a selection list
(see figure on the right).
